Montana day 2

We had a good sleep in, went for coffee at the lodge and saw Finn Pedersen by chance. Small world.

Went down to Apgar village for a rising sun breakfast and some pancakes, then just did some driving to relax. Went to Kalispell and checked out some massive MEC like sporting goods store except it also had guns galore, including small purse size revolvers, and little pink rifles for your 9 year old daughter. Odd.

Saw the General Lee driving home. Got free park entry today, then rode for a couple hours up the going to the sun road. Bikes and hikers could go past Avalanche by 6k, so we went to the nice falls and such. No cars on the road was nice.

Had a huckleberry beer before dinner which was lovely with the sun setting across a calm lake. Dinner was great - our waiter has worked here and as a ski instructor at Whitefish for 29 years. They let us take our wine glasses down lakeside so we just sat for a while longer. So lovely - no wind, no bugs, all scenery.

Sat down near our place on a towel with backs to a big log and had a blanket till the stars came up - nice night.
