Glacier National Park - Day 7 (Friday)

Not much to share today. The rain from yesterday continued and this morning was pretty messy. Our Plan B was driving to Canada to check out Waterton Park since we're about 90 minutes from the border. We grabbed some cereal from the office and hit the road. It was just nasty. The further we drove, the nastier it got. There were large distances we couldn't even see 50' in front of the car. There were times when it was spitting rain and times when it was raining pretty hard. A few miles from the border we just decided to turn around. We couldn't see anything anyway. So after three hours of driving we found ourselves at the lodge warming up and filling our bellies with a sandwich and a beer.

Back at the room, we had some down time and caught up a bit on what had been happening all week while we were in our own little bubble in Montana. It's pretty chilly. Temp is 43 and it feels like 31. Our thermals got some use this vacation. And it's been sweltering at home. Not looking forward to sweating and humidity again.


Went back to Luna's for dinner tonight. Bob got chili and I fell for meatloaf and garlic mashed potatoes - comfort food. I love talking to people when traveling. When in a place like this everyone knows everyone else is from somewhere else and we all want to know what each other did and how they liked it. There's something special about being able to share with strangers and hope you may have made a little difference in their trip like others did for ours. 

All packed up and ready to pull out early in the morning. It's been a wonderful trip but we're both ready to get home. Bob's already researching our next park trip, wherever that ends up being.
