Glacier National Park

Hello Bloggers!

Internet and cell service is scarce and will only get worse from here on out.  Not sure what will happen once we're in Canada (starting Saturday).  We are staying at the KOA East Glacier, and Keith walks by an RV with Illinois plates.  So, he asks, "where are you from in Illinois?"  Answer....Warrenville!  We are here enjoying Glacier with John and Stacy Riggs!  How fun!  The kids have another bonus with friends.  The Riggs' boys are matched nicely in age with Michael and Joe.  We spent yesterday with the Riggs hiking and waiting for the shuttle bus.  The hiking was amazing, we encountered a black bear on our hike (about 20 yards away).  He looked at us and saw 11 loud/annoying humans and kept going.  I am now thankful at how loud our kids are :)  The hike continued and we saw another black bear and one grizzly; overall a very successful bear day.  Our two mile hike took us to see St. Mary's Falls which were fantastic.  Our boat cruise out of the Many Glacier Hotel was way over-priced and slightly boring, but still offered beautiful scenery.  Johnon's Cafe will never be the same since our motley crue invaded for lunch.  Four adults and seven loud children can make an impression on a place.  The soup and sandwiches were yummy!  We have more exciting adventures today so I will save photos for next posting.  BTW, I am so glad I have a washer/dryer in Big Red :)
