May 3, 2018

US 89 route: Idaho Falls; Alpine, WY; Jackson, WY; Old Faithful, WY; Gardiner, MT; Livingston, MT; White Sulphur Springs, MT; Belt, MT; Great Falls, MT; Choteau, MT; Saint Mary, MT and the Piegan Port of Entry on the Canadian border.
We're on track to depart May 6.  We plan to resume The Drive on US 89 Sunday afternoon in Alpine, Wyoming.  Our itinerary varies somewhat from the first draft:
  • May 6 - Gros Ventre Campground in Grand Teton National Park
  • May 7 - Mammoth Campground in Yellowstone National Park
  • May 8 - As above 
  • May 9 - Newlan Creek Reservoir (near White Sulphur Springs)
  • May 10 - AirBNB location near Belt, Montana
  • May 11 - Choteau City Park, Choteau, MT
  • May 12 - St. Mary Campground in East Glacier
  • May 13 - St. Mary Campground
  • May 14 - Begin return trip south, details TBA.
Luckily, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has a fabulous network of campgrounds that make is easy and economical to develop a decent travel itinerary.

We don't have any interviews yet set up for this trip north but that's OK.  We expect to "wing it" in terms of finding people to talk with about US 89.  We will be stopping in at one or more of the Hutterite Colonies up there and that's bound to be interesting.
