Whitefish, MT

Tonight we are staying with another contact of Bill's from the Naval Academy, Dave Williams. His house is amazing, built on Whitefish Lake. In addition, Dave has 2 beautiful daughters and a friend of theirs staying here. He took us on a boat ride around Whitefish lake. Very relaxing. They are a fun bunch.

We stayed the previous evening at the River Bend RV park on the Kootenai river. The people there were also very nice, and they had good beer on tap. Overall, we have been having a very good time, meeting lots of nice people. The weather has been cooperating pretty well, except the thunderstorm that just passed over us. Fortunately, we were on the Williams' deck at the time.

Tomorrow we hit Glacier National Park. We will NOT be going over the Going-to-the-Sun Road. They have been having avalanches up there, so the road is still buried by 30 feet of snow. Bill and Pat are disappointed. I am relieved. The 2000 foot drop off the right side of the road had me a little worried.

Look for Bill's and Pat's posts for more interesting information. This sounded a little like a travelogue.

Dave, Pat and Bill

I have listened to your progress on WSPT several times including this morning. I wish I was on this ride with you, but instead I will ride my bike dreaming of your great adventure. Best of luck and have safe and fun trip.
