To Glacier and Missoula

A bit out of order, if there is an order! This is the inside of the Lake McDonald Lodge. It was built in 1914.

This was a huge metal sculpture we saw on our way to Glacier.
Yay, we made it all the way to Glacier! The farthest point on the trip.

It was a cold evening but the light was great for pictures!

Yup, 1950s for sure!! It was clean!!!!

We went off the main roads and found this pine forest.

It was really cloudy on Thursday.
The water was so blue/green and clear. Glacier Water!
Yay, I finally got a good long exposure to work!

Several water falls and the mountains.

These white berries were everywhere.
Taking in the immenseness of it all!

No, no diving into the glacier water. It was COLD!
Thought it was pretty.

We Made it from Missoula to Glacier National Park. Wow, there are some big mountains in Glacier!!! We stayed in the McDonald Lake Motor Lodge. .. circa 1950s style rooms. The air conditioner was a box fan!! Glacier was very rustic. There were only two or three main roads. One ended in dirt roads, one was closed for construction and the other ones were closed because of 8 inches of snow that fell!! So after a day and a half of exploring Glacier, we returned to Missoula and visited with Mr. R's sister Teri and her hubby. It was a great visit. Like it hadn't been 16 years since we last saw each other. Family is great. Tomorrow we head back down to do the West side of Yellowstone and end up in Cody again for the night. So, we may not have such great cell reception during the day, but try us if you want to talk, or text us and we will call you back when we get more bars!!!! Miss you ALL and love you!!! Keep up the great work, you are doing fine!!! Hugs and kisses!!
