Come with us, a couple of retired gals, on our RV adventure from northeastern Illinois to Glacier National Park in northern Montana. Our expedition begins on the northern route through North Dakota, seeing Lewis and Clark sites, Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Little Bighorn Battlefield – leading to the majestic beauty and grandeur of Glacier National Park. The way home through South Dakota brought other wonderful sights like Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Monument, and Badlands National Park. Join us. See how we faced the many set-ups and tear downs, living three weeks in close quarters, and traveling thousands of miles in an RV, as we enjoyed some of the natural wonders of our country.
Armchair Travels is generously funded with a gift from the Rutherford Family Trust.
