Food prep at a campground can range from easy (let's open a can of Dinty Moore and eat it cold) to outdoor translation of favorite meals, which in our case, as foodies, runs along the lines of outdoor gourmet. However, not wanting to sound pretentious, let's just say, we opt for eating well, meaning flavor and healthy options. Our one challenge in this area, is that our trip ends with a flight and we could not take our usual camping equipment, i.e. a Coleman stove.
Getting Started Road Meal Mon. 8.15.11
Having a host of company the 4 days before we left, the fridge was full, and it was like picking from a smorgasbord on what to eat in the car. Heaven knows, there was not going to any additional stops besides gas and what could be done during refueling. (Use your imagination.)
First meal of the trip was eaten on the road:
Chicken Sandwich on the Go
- grilled marinated chicken
- roasted red pepper boursin spread
- rosemary sourdough bread
- lettuce, tomatoes, swiss optional
Assemble into sandwich, wrap in wax paper, chill in cooler. Once hungry, eat with snacks.
Bar 3 BBQ, Bozeman, MT Mon 8.22.11
One thing is for sure, the locals know where to go for great food. We stopped in a camera store to get some supplies and asked where a good place for lunch was. Kyle, the young, strawberry blonde clerk recommended Bar 3, just down the road. Ironically, we were talking earlier about how out west must have good BBQ. Why not, there are ranches everywhere you look driving on I90. It ended up put our "Must Try" list. Seemed like a good time to check it off. We drove up and immediately thought, what a great idea. It had a drive thru AND delivers! But that's not the best part.
The daily special was a pulled pork sandwich, fries and a drink for $7.50. We watched, as Rob buttered the split buns and dropped them on the grill, then started filling one large bag of fries. Thinking it was two portions, we were astounded when he started filling a second. The amount of pork on each bun could have been split between 2. The BBQ sauce savory and sweet and smoky. Yeah, it was goooood!
Conclusion: It was the best darn pulled pork sandwich either one of us has ever had. The fries were way up there, too.
Now, that's my kind of delivery. Forget pizza, deliver me a pulled pork sandwich.

Rob was very helpful in recommending a shortcut route to Glacier the locals take. We didn't know that Bozeman is great for fishing and has the best skiing according to Powder Magazine. It's a great college town, home to the U of Montana.No time to waste, onto Glacier National Park.
