The late version of Wednesday Sept 5?

Well, the last place we stayed did not have a wireless connection or even a phone jack so I got the night off from posting but I did write a review of rooms/food up to thet point. Its sometimes tough to find things to do in towns with 6 buildings.

On about Wednesday..GLacier Park. Onother of the must do's in my motorcycling book was Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier. It cut the park in half and is about 60 miles long. If you don't hike..the GSH is about the nly thing in the park to do.

We left Seeley Lake early to keep in the cool of the morning. Well in the cold of morning but made great time to the park..can you say 70mph speed limit?

On the way up we got a few pictures and seen alot of fire damamge and one huge fire fighter camp. Oncd to the park we stopped for fuel for the bike and us. The bike some plus grade at 3.24 per gal and for us choc covered donuts with milk.


Once in the park the first bit was all deep pine forest, deep enough to block my GSP reception on a few instances. The road menadered along a rocky creek and past a few steep mountian faces. The we started up hill and quick. The road is limited to 21 feet in lenght so it keeps the rv off, but traffic is 3- to 45 mph. The speed was not a big deal, the GSH is not about riding its about being..being about to see, feel and smell because you on a bike. The park did not disappoint, if faxt is was once on the coolest places I've seen when it comes to mountians..nothing in the east compares. I could go on and on but check a few pictues>






At the end of the GSH we were going to saty in the park but we got ahead of scheduel so we hit my back up place in East Glacier Park..which I thought was a tourist trap but ends up being about the size of Reels Conrers? It happens to be where the amtrak drops passengers..for the park then there is a park lodge and a car rental, couple of motels and a restaurant and junk shop oh and a bakery owned by some europein with good scones.


We stayed at Jacobson's cabins, cheap clean and had a good rep amount the motorcycling crowd. The owner did not seem to care for the loud HD crowd but said he never had problems with them just the noise.


Dinner was at the Whistle Stop...another shocker with outstanding beef ribs and jenn's BLT had slab bacon..hit looked like a dump but food was done by someone who knows how to cook. I reccomend!


Did you know East Glacier Park is home to the largest wooden purple spoon?
