Left Three Forks early as I needed to cover a lot of miles to get to Kalispell airport in time to pick up my son who arranged to fly out and meet me, and join me for 4 days of the trip. It started out overcast but soon it started to snow and a couple of serious accidents slowed my progress. By the time I got to Flathead Lake the weather was gorgeous…that’s how it is out here. You can experience all four seasons in one day. The photo, however, attempts to show what it must have been like for the pioneers coming across the plains as they saw the Rocky Mountains arising on the horizon.
I made it to Kalispell airport 1/2 hour before his plane arrived. We stopped at a supermarket and got two huge ribeye steaks, two of the biggest spuds I think I’ve ever seen, and some broccoli, then made our way to the RV park in West Glacier where we had the whole place to ourselves. Nestled in pine trees at the foot of the mountains, it was a serene place. And the SMELLS! Hudson went crazy! We actually broke out the bear spray that evening as there were warning signs everywhere, and we could imagine getting a visit during the night.
