Rt 2 thru MT and ND - condition? Tips?
We're considering taking Rt 2 from Glacier to MN in August but we're wondering about the surface condition of the road. In the past, we've experienced some terrible road surfaces on non-interstate...

Even though it has been several years since we've been on Highway 2 through MN, ND, & MT I would venture to say that it probably is still in good shape. The highway is four lane through ND. Two lane through Montana and most of Minnesota. Around Williston, ND there are oil rig trucks and "no room at the inn" due to the oil boom.
For over night camping I would recommend staying in eastern ND and drive to Fort Peck Dam to the COE campground. It's a long haul but during the week the lower campground has plenty of space with back-in sites, water and electricity. There is a dump station. The upper campground has some pull through sites that we just fit in with a 32' motor home and toad.
We usually drive straight through from Ft. Peck Dam to West Glacier and the Apgar Campground in the park. There is a dump station and potable water at Apgar. Lots of nice campgrounds around West Glacier with FHU's. This year the park should have a lot of great waterfall scenery as it has been a good snow year.
There are several RV parks in Havre (my old home town that I grew up in). One is in town next to the railroad yards for train lovers and another at the fairgrounds on the west side of town off Hiway 2. We've never stayed at any of the campgrounds along the "Hi-Line" so we can't say much.
There isn't a lot of great scenery through ND and most of Montana. Rugby, ND is the geographic center of North America. Ft. Peck Dam is a very large earthen dam and does have tours.
There are web sites that have some sites to visit in both states - just use Google.
