Glacier National Park

We could see it in the distance - Glacier, here we come!

 

And here we are...but where are the big glaciers?  Global change  has made it's mark.

 

 

So has fire...

 

 

But here we are, tucked SNUGLY in our somewhat smallish RV site.

 

Passenger side...

 

 

Drivers side... 

 

But we can't complain because we have shade!

 

Of course, our daily trip would not be complete without some little excitement (i.e. repair).  We found a small chip in one of the front windows this morning.  From past experience, we learned that our insurance company will send someone out, at no cost to us, to repair a chip as long as it is smaller than a quarter.  If it is larger than a quarter, then the windshield has to be replaced and we have a $500 deductible.  We opt for chip repair.  Sure enough, our insurance company found someone en route.  We stopped long enough to have the repair made and then have lunch with the repairman. Elk hunter, rancher with 200 acres and 8 horses, 1/4 Cree Indian, interesting fellow. We learned that a "unit" (cow and calf) takes 12 acres to feed for one month, with the 13 inches of rain per year in this area.  We also learned that "they" are conspiring to control the world and out to get us, with much empirical proof presented ----  On our way again!  I'm glad the RV is parked for the next 5 days!!!

 

The plan is to drive The Road to the Sun tomorrow morning to catch some great pictures of the park.  Looking forward to it.
