6/19 Up to Glacier



We woke and packed our stuff.Pete and Aidan headed out a bit early to catch the rays and chill. We rode out along Route 35 which would take us along the east side of Flathead Lake. On the way north I stopped and visited my Cousin Tina and her family at her house. Goody Will and I rode North until we found Flathead Lake Brewing Company, where I put back two beers and we got back on the bikes. The Porter and IPA combo made me sluggish on the ride and we soon stopped for food and rest in BigFork?. We ate Mexican Food and then I took a nap in the sun as Goody played the Uke. Alcohol and riding do not mix well for me. We started riding again on the sunny day  and stopped got some Mountain Dew Throwbacks (all natural sugar FYI) and took Montana Hwy 200 north. We rode fast on the narrow rode and soon hooked back up with Route 2.We climbed a bit through the foothills of the Park and excitedly approached West Glacier. At West Glacier we stocked up on some food and then rode into the park where we found a nice bike path that lead us to the busy Apgar Campground.  We grabbed the disc and went and chilled on the beautiful Lake McDonald before going to bed.

I left Polson with a more legit back rack set up.
