On Friday the 25th of August, Hungry Horse Montana

Today started out with a wonderful road trip up the ‘Going to the sun’ highway that took us from the West Glacier entrance to the East side of the park. We took the dogs with us, which limited some of our exploring of ‘Visitor Centers’ but we got to spend quality time viewing many of the Glaciers from the road as we made our way up the road. Carol had been here 30 years ago with her first husband Brian, as well as friends Mitch and Monica. She sadly reported that she has seen a huge retreat of the glaciers especially those such as the Jackson Glacier. It is so sad to see what mankind has caused through ‘Global Warming’. 

The area is very beautiful and though there are areas that have been burned by forest fire, where the tall cedar and pine trees have been eradicated, there is a lot of other greenery compliments of scrub brush and oak trees that are starting to return. There are many beautiful small waterfalls and this unique location called 'Goose Island' that was cool to observe from shore.

Once we returned to Camp, we found that our replacement Kwikee steps had arrived shipped to us by Amazon. These steps we un-damaged and within an hour and half, Eric was able to have the steps installed and in working order. There is even a cool step light that now turns on, when the door is opened! While Eric was working on the steps, Carol was working diligently on her speech for Brandon. For dinner this evening, we ate at a local restaurant that supposedly had great burgers and pizza. Though we did not try any of the burgers, we did try the pizza at the Glacier Grill and Pizza, and it was pretty darn tasty.

Safe Travels all!
