Out West Day 5...Havre, Montana to Glacier National Park



I'm up really early this morning, anxious to leave my beautiful campsite nestled in between the Casino Hotel and the Conoco station...I felt really at one with nature. I'm rolling alon Route 20 about two hundred miles from Glacier. No sign of mountains until I reach the town of Browning, then...Bam!...there they are.
I enter the Park with my 2009 Parks Pass (Thanks Roger and Gretchen!). Then on to the Many Glacier Campsite. I'm in luck because there are cmpsites available, and this is the most popular campground in the whole Park. I find a good site close to the "facilities" and a short walk from the Swiftcurrent Motor Lodge...ice!!
I set up camp, belt down a few Margaritas and cook myself up one of my famous grilled cheese sandwiches with a great bottle of French Cotes-du Rhone. Nestled between two tall peaks, sipping a great wine...it does not get btter than this. I'm in bed early because tomorrow, I plan to hike the Swiftcurrent Trail. About 5 miles in and 5 out...should be great fun.
More later...
