Montana day 1

Left work at a decent time, but the quick pack and out didn't work as well with traffic out of town. No problem though as we googled for border information for the one by Waterton and it was open till 10pm still.

Had Tim Horton's in Pincher Creek, fairly close to where we're marketing a wind farm project.

Drive south was beauty, all the way up to the border crossing which was closed. Looks like the sign posted was more up to date than the web site, u turn and over to Cardston.

Few minutes down the road a deer came out of the bush on the left at absolute full speed, and even with a swerve left and hit of the brakes, I still clipped its hind quarters. Actually didn't ruin too much on the car, can't really see it other than a small plastic cover piece and one little light. I'm sure it'll be expensive anyway. Deer undoubtedly became coyote food.

Stopped at DQ in Cardston to mix it up with the natives and mormons on a Friday night. Always feels weird here.

Border crossing after dark, then had to do the 2h way around to West Glacier. We rented a place at MacDonald Lake Lodge before knowing that the west side of the going to the sun road was closed. Long drive at night but got in at 11:30 and went to bed.

So nice - cool, quiet, rustic.
