It is Friday and I have lots to tell you.  Needed to take a day as my brain got fried on our wonderful trip on the "Red Bus". They are buses originally built in the 1930's and rebuilt in the late 1990's to keep them running and get safety updates. Before I get to that, I want to tell you about our trip to Whitefish.  Real nice town that is a year round resort.  Winter for skiing and summer for Glacier.  We walked around and looked at the historic buildings and visited a few gift shops.  Don't think you will see very many pictures from here but don't worry there are pictures from our next days trip.  We spent a nice afternoon and came back to the campsite to get ready for our next trip.  Wednesday morning we got up and got dressed and out before 8.  Had to meet the bus at the KOA campsite up the road from us.  We met some of our fellow travelers and boarded the bus.  We started out the road and as we got to the main road our driver spotted a bear.  It was 10 feet from our bus and it stood up to sharpen its claws on a tree.  Before anyone could get out their cameras the bear took off running away.  That sure jump started our day.  We picked up our fellow travelers and got on the way.  We were so excited.  Opened the top of the bus and put blankets over us to keep warm.  We used these same blankets later in the day to allow us to sit on the leather seats without burning our butts!!!  I honestly cannot describe the views we saw and the pictures just pale in comparison to the real thing.  This is a beautiful park.  What you see is nature in all its glory.  Something that should not be missed.  We also saw Big Horn Sheep and Mountain Goats along the way.  No more bears on the way over to the east side of the park crossing the Continental Divide.  We had a lovely lunch in the Many Glacier Lodge and then went outside to walk around for awhile.  Everyone was looking up on the mountain and there was a Grizzly Bear walking around.  We watched that for awhile and then we had to get in our bus and start the ride back.  Believe me by this time it was at least 90 degrees outside.  As we left the area we were on the lookout for the bear we saw but no luck.  We went around 10 miles and there was another bear.  Was a great day.  We saw 3 bears, one black bear and 2 grizzlies.  We stopped at one other place to see if we could spot a mountain goat and low and behold there he was right next to us.  You will see how close from Jack's pics.  No telephoto lens on these pictures.  We got back to the campsite around 6 p.m.  Long, long day but so worth the trip.  Yesterday was a real down day.  Did take a ride to Kalispell to find a Home Depot for a part Jack needed and then walked around the Costco but we were only gone about an hour or so.  Just a lazy lazy day.  Today we are going back to Kalispell to an Equestrian Event that is held there.  It is a qualifier for the Olympics.  Will let you know what it is like.  We leave here on Sunday and start out trek to Portland and a long stay.
