(Glenn) Today Cathy and I rode farther North into Montana to Glacier National Park. The ride was great with cooler temperatures but the wind was very strong. I would rather ride in rain than the constant gusting winds. We saw beautiful ranch lands of horses and cattle in rolling hills framed by large mountains in the distance. We saw very few vehicles on many of the roads and felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but we liked that feeling. We found a very reasonably priced place to stay in East Glacier. It is a set of tiny cabins (about 15' by 20' each) that was originally built for park rangers. We feel like we are camping so we just put our chairs out in a shady spot and read some more on our books. We were sitting at an outdoor table across the road from our cabin and we met a family that traveled from their home in Cahaba Heights (10 minutes from our house in Hoover, Alabama) to hike in Glacier National Park. What a small world. We heard the west entrance to the "Going To The Sun" road was still closed due to the recent fires, so I plan to ride around the park to the road's East entrance tomorrow to ride it as far as is allowed. We will then turn North to cross the Canadian border to spend 5 or 6 nights. So far we have had no issues with the motorcycle and hope our good fortune continues.
(Cathy) I have so much fun with all the unique little places we have stayed. The little cabin today is so cute. The Holiday Inn Express last night was very nice, like a 5 star to us on this trip (lol), but not very unique. Also, in Montana I have never seen so many cowboy hats, boots, big belt buckles all in one place in my whole life. Glenn and I take care of each other in different ways. I handed him his allergy pill this morning and he says " so am I supposed to chew it up" The water was about 3 feet from him but the "water girl" and the "towel girl" still came on this trip. I was falling down on my job. Today I have had huckleberry bread, huckleberry pie, and 2 days ago huckleberry ice cream. I have found blueberry nut energy bar, peanut butter chocolate cracker jacks!! Oh my!!
