Thanks for the tip. It might come in handy later. But, if we pick Glacier for this summer, we'll fly up and stay in a friend's guest house. They have a ranch not far from whitefish that's adjacent to the park. It looks like a beautiful place. But I wouldn't want to live there in the winter.

Just curious, when you say super expensive, not cheap, cut to a fraction what are the round numbers?
My parents had a pop up camper that I spent many nights in many many years ago as we traveled around the country.

Since RVs became so popular during Covid, RV park prices are comparable to hotel prices per night. I’ve paid over $200 per night with taxes and fees in popular areas but $80-$100 per night is very common for a park with full hookups. The thing about the west is that there is so much BLM land that you can camp on for free. If you can find it. If you can access it. If you are set up to dry camp.

I’ve never even heard people from the UK say their food is good.

The best Chinese I've ever had was in the UK. Indian food is generally solid also.

While I was doing business with a Chinese businessman he was here in the states and wanted to treat us to an authentic Chinese dinner. He rented out a Chinese restaurant, it was probably a dozen of us, planned the menu , and had the cook prepare it as it would be prepared in China. It’s really nothing like we are used to here in the US. Chinese food and Mexican food has been Americanized to suit our tastes. It may say authentic but it’s not really.

I have been told our Szechuan (I think? Could be misremembering which type) food is reasonably close to its counterpart in china but most popular Chinese food either has no equivalent or has an equivalent that we have just added a bunch of sugar to.
