West to East Glacier Nat’l Park the long way around

A slow traffic roll out of Lake McDonald and a stop in Browning.

Great museum. No photos allowed inside.

Rained all day. Rising Sun Motor Inn cabin.

Went for a drive on the Road to the Sun. OMG! Will post a couple of pictures. Internet really slow here as well.





I will attempt an extra because there are so many more. Big peace out. Tres dog

Kayaking North Lake McDonald, Glacier Nat’l Park.

Another fab sleep in with French press Tanzanian coffee and home made Polebridge Mercantile pastries of huckleberry bear claw and cinnamon roll. Gib! I drove the kayak near the ADA ramp next to the boat tour and beach. A good samaritan helped me get it to the water and ready to paddle. A crazy desire to paddle my handmade in this place. We were not disappointed.















The clearness of the water even with Cottonwood pollen on the top of the water with depths and big fish and the shallows and creeks running into the lake. Flocks of Canadian geese. A slick calm lake.

Polebridge Extra

A day trip out to Polebridge after a super sleep. It was a bit of a trip but wonderful. A great bakery, cafe and historic general store.

A slow roll out home

A quick up to your waist swim in Lake McDonald. I was in a minute and done. I did it 3 times. My feet and ankles were completely numb. Just hanging at our cabin in paradise.


Kayaking tomorrow no matter what. Big peace out Tres

Internet not conducive for lots of picture blogging. Will catch up in better circumstances. Peace out Tres

Great to get these out. A kayak inspection at Agpar Village, yesterday, allows me to paddle in Lake McDonald. Woke up to high wind and chop on the lake. A change in plan for a day trip to Polebridge with a try later today or tomorrow. Big peace out Tres
