Wednesday & Thursday - Bigfork, MT

Well Wednesday was pretty much like Monday & Tuesday due to overdast weather but we did go into Kalispell to find a place to have the RV hydraulics drained and the correct oil put in. If you recall our fiasco on the mountain with the deliverance twins it turned out that Pat gave them the wrong weight oil to put back in the system so now we are going to have that fixed. Oh happy days!

Then when we got back from Kalispell Pat was looking up some part numbers for the RV potty when his computer went kaput. I mean dead. We consulted our IT dude and now Pat will be taking his computer to a place here in Bigfork to see if they can repair the damage. I don't understand people that creat virus'.

Okay, on to Thursday. We got up early and today we are going to Glacier Park to travel the Road to the Sun but we are going by car in lieu of the bike. It turns out this was a good decision not because the weather was bad because it was a gorgeous day but because of the road conditions (mostly dirt, mud and sometimes gravel) and road work delays. We didn't ride the complete road but turned around after reaching Logan's Pass, which is a litle more than half way. Oh, and there have been 2 motorcycle deaths on the road since it opened several weeks ago and just this week a rider on the back of a motorcycle was killed by a falling rock. All the more reason to take the car.

The road delay's were due to having just one lane open on many parts of the road. I counted at least 80 cars waiting when we were allowed to take our turn on the one lane and that was just one of many one lane closures. It took us 4 hours on the Road to the Sun and if you count the hour it took to get to Glacier Park plus the drive home and stopping for a bite to eat (and don't forget we had to stop at the grocery store, can't pass one of those by) we were gone for most of the day.

But now for the pics... It was beautiful....Because of the road conditions there weren't many pull offs to take pics so most of the these pics were taken from a moving car.

Here's Blaze enjoying the scenery.

This is Logan's Point.

The above pic are people walking up the slope at Logan's Pass with thier ski's to ski down and then walk back up to ski down again.

Below is the Continental Divide again. I bet we have crossed this over a handful of times in different states.

These goats were on the side of the road. A mama and her baby.

Here are some of the cars waiting while we had our turn on the one lane.

Tomorrow is TGIF....
