EP2 Croft Solo Series: We Find An Epic River Campsite and Take a Polar Plunge in Devil's Glen!

The Crofts head through West Glacier, Montana, continuing east to the mountains. After traveling back in time to the age of the dinosaurs, this overlanding family finds a great campsite by the river and makes pizza from scratch on the grill. A hike to the swimming holes of Devil’s Glen makes for a refreshing (but chilly!) summer afternoon. #xoverland #soloseries #montana

    Wow! Montana is gorgeous! I absolutely have to put that on my list. It cracked me up when your son jumped into the river with his hat on. I guess it's a nice way to cool down when it's 85F. I really hate the mice, and how they get into everything! Two weeks after I bought my 4Runner, they had gotten into my cabin air filter. Since then, I put a metal plate with a grid of 1/4" holes drilled out that covers the intake. I haven't had them get into the cabin air filter since. I've also heard that bright lights in the engine compartment will keep them out.

Watching you and your family brings back incredible memories of camping trips throughout Europe and the U.S. when my kids were growing up. We were all fishing fanatics as well. I think kids become more rounded adults when they are exposed to outdoor activities like camping, fishing, boating and four-wheeling. I couldn't help but notice the Van Stralen name in the credits...awesome job of editing guys. Well done!
