When things don’t go as planned (part 2) – Glacier National Park •
I woke up super early, anxious to figure out a solution to our situation and I did what I do when I’m stressed. I prayed. Then we immediately started calling RV parks in the area to see if we could find a spot. •
We called one on the east side of the park and they were totally booked except for 1 site for 1 night with NO HOOKUPS for $50….no thanks. We then checked the KOA, completely booked. •
We decided to try campgrounds on the West side. It’s the more developed and convenient side of the park, which we were actually excited about the idea of moving to. It was a 2-hour drive away…but worth it. •
We called Glacier Campground, which was about 1.5 miles right outside of the west entrance. We felt like it was a total long shot, but thought that it couldn’t hurt to try. •
Much to our surprise, they had an opening!! The lady that answered the phone said that it must have been our lucky day because someone had just canceled a 6-night reservation for a water and electric site! We were so stoked! •
We then called the ranger station to see about canceling the rest of our reservation in the NPS campground. They said it was totally not a problem to cancel and we’d receive a full refund for the rest of the time! What?! Amazing! •
The site we landed in was a really great site too. It was private and spacious and super convenient to most of the stuff we wanted to do. In the end, we were actually in a much better situation than we were before my mistake! •
Full time travel can present some really stressful situations into your life and boy has it ever for us. But what we are consistently learning is that things are never as big as they seem and when we trust and pray, things work out. •
