Gardiner to Wolf Creek, Montana

We were heading from North Yellowstone to Glacier National Park. It was getting late, gas was low, and we had no room for the night. We kept passing exits on I-15 that read No Services. We were coming up to the town with the biggest dot on the map... Wolf Creek, Montana.

Lucky Break #1. They had gas. Exxon at the Canyon Store. I asked the clerk at the Canyon Store about lodging in the area. He said that normally we should go on up to Augusta, Montana but they were having a rodeo and all rooms were probably taken. He grabbed a post-it note and wrote down a phone number. "Call this number", he said, "It's just a few miles down the road. Maybe they have something".

Lucky Break #2. They did have rooms. We ended up at the 7R Guest Ranch. Go under the viaduct, turn onto highway something or other, hang a left at the horse statue and take the dirt road for a mile or two. Great rooms. Great restaurant with a full bar and the owner played guitar and sang some country tunes while we ate. Someone was watching over us.
