Holland Lake Campground Check In | Montana Adventure

All right, it is check-in time and I am looking for the Bay Loop at Howland Lake. Howland Lake is a special place. Oh, and there's a deer, doe, a deer, a female deer. Oh, there's a bunch of them. So this is also grizzly country. And you know, this place was referred to or told to me by a client of mine that lived in Missoula. And it's one of these places that most people passing through Montana would not think to look for. And I came here once. Actually, if you've been watching my videos for a while, you might remember this is where I lost my drone. And it was in the woods across the lake from where we're going to camp. And, oh boy, that was an experience. But anyway, right now I'm just trying to beat the rain. I'm trying to beat the rain and I'm trying to beat the dark. So we are in space number C like Charlie 40. So let's see if we can't find, find our space. There's the campground host. Boy, do they got a setup. Let's see here. Okay, so we're going to be off to the, we're going to be off to the right. So I'm going to get out and check, check in with the host real quick. Okay, so here's the host site. And there's nobody. Oh, look at that. That's not a good sign. Oh, goodness. So here's the there's the campground host and it doesn't look like they are set up for business. But boy, folks, this is in just Google it. Google Howland Lake. And it's in the Lolo, I think Lolo National Forest. And it's a beautiful, beautiful lake. So we'll go and see if I can't find our space and get all checked in. All right, I think it was Skip Smith from the villages. Good old Skip that doesn't talk to me anymore. Good old Skip Smith told me, you know, that you don't want to pull into a campground after dark. And I think we just we're just cutting it off. Oh, there's a whole group of people over there. Look at that. s'mores. Are you making s'mores?
