After our traumatic dog fight situation at the Whitefish KOA, we were desperate to head back to Hungry Horse Reservoir, to the perfect campsite on the water where we stayed before. It was approaching mid to late August by this point, so we knew that our chances of getting our last spot was probably pretty …

Bank Delays and a Dog Fight
After fourteen blissful days at Hungry Horse, we were sad to pack up our camping gear once again to head out. We thought twice about leaving because once you find paradise, why leave? After all, this campground had everything we needed and there didn’t seem to be a forest ranger enforcing the fourteen day maximum …
Finding Paradise in Hungry Horse
After our two weeks were up at Whitefish State Park Campground, we headed out towards Swan Lake and Big Fork. Both are towns near Whitefish and are known for incredible camping, rafting and the like. We found ourselves right smack dab in the middle of summer, which is heavy tourist season. We didn’t have any …
Freight Trains…..choo choo!!!
With Glacier National Park behind us and the sale of our house just around the corner, we needed to try to find a campsite closer to downtown. Up until now, we struggled with not having a computer but more importantly no cell phone signal. We decided to try our luck at the closest campground to …
Glacier National Park
After camping in Tally Lake (and my first bear encounter), we decided to head out to Glacier National Park. The majestic park is located only twenty four minutes from Whitefish. We had never been and we were really excited to check it out. It is the number one tourist attraction here in northwest Montana and …

The Moving Truck Victory that Overcometh!

Finding our Rhythm……
Now that we were officially living in Whitefish, well camping to be more accurate, we needed to find our rhythm. Camping with two dogs and two young boys is difficult. But it is especially hard when you are homeless. Maybe I am exaggerating here a bit. I mean, we had a tent and all the …
Welcome to Whitefish, our new home!
After arriving to Whitefish, Montana, the very first thing we did was drive down highway 93. I wanted a chance to take it all in upon arrival. Ryan drove ahead of us and led the way from the south end of town. As we drove through, I noticed several picturesque horse ranches and farms. Of …
GOODBYE CALIFORNIA!
The hardest part of our journey out to Montana began towards the end of June 2019. It was hard to say goodbye to our friends and family, with many tears shed. We packed up all our belongings and started making our trek from Oakland, CA to Whitefish, MT. After 17 years living in the Bay …
