Foothills of Glacier National Park

Tuesday, August 23-Wednesday, August 24

It’s hard to have a bad day when you wake up and see this.



We got a slow start to the day, poked around beautiful Seely Lake (pictured above) and read about the bizarre earthquake in DC. What is going on back home??? Glad to know everyone is OK, as is my house on Fleetwood Terrace. Whew.

We did a quick workout and stretched under the trees. After that, it was back into the car for another short ride to get us closer to Glacier. We passed another huge and beautiful lake, Swan Lake. And we stopped and poked around this cute little town called Bigfork, Montana.





We were headed to Westshore State Park on the (you guessed it) west shore of Flathead Lake. What a pretty state park! We got a beautiful site with a view of the water, which looked like this. Pretty awesome place to camp, eh?




And now my preferred word seems to be “Wow!” But it is honestly hard to describe the grandeur of Montana in many other ways. Flathead Lake is gorgeous. Big. Vast. Blue. Sun shining on it. Water skiers zipping by. Forest surrounding it. Aaaaaaaah.




I even took a quick swim in the lake. I say quick because, man, that water was cold!!!

We made an awesome camp fire that night and had an (over?) abundance of marshmallows. Another good night’s sleep ahead! (after the sugar buzz wears off, of course …)
