Greetings from Columbia Falls, Montana! For those of you that are map challenged, it's north of Kalispell, and south a tad from West Glacier, the entrance to Glacier National Park. And Glacier National park is where I spent the whole of Monday.
It really is a shame that there's only getting four pictures from yesterday on this post. I have seen some pretty country. Outstanding country. Spectacular country. But I think my favorite has to be Glacier.
And its gonna be hard to come close to this country.
I'm coming back. Guaranteed.
I started the day kinda late - I slept in. Then I caught a nooner. Whitewater rafting trip. Three hours. This is the low-flow season (the spring is the top season for the Flarhead Middle Fork) and we had to paddle against the wind, but it was still a pleasure. I'd never been. I'd go again. I have pictures, but they are on a waterproof camera that probably won't see the light of day until Texas.
Then I headed down the Going-To-The-Sun-Road, the crown jewel. I could have taken enough still pictures to make a movie. If you have been down the road, you know. If you haven't, don't miss this. Its Grand.
Tuesday is a travel day. 400+ miles, and intentionally not too many of those at all on interstate. And Wednesday, Yellowstone. Scenic route as depicted by Rand McNally, and he hasn't let me down yet.
Oh yeah, and 8000 miles down. My original estimate is a little short.
