Sept.10, 2011 - Got an early start to our day. We were on the road by 8:45 am! Drove out of Washington, across the Idaho panhandle, and into Montana. We are on Highway 2 now. It will take us all the way to Munising, Michigan. By late afternoon, we had made it to West Glacier, just west of Glacier National Park. We’re in Mountain Time Zone now. We are going to stay three nights at Glacier Campground so we can relax and explore Glacier National Park. We’re nestled into the trees tonight listening to the Amtrak train whistle as it arrives and departs from the West Glacier train depot.
While traveling in the RV today, I started reading The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame, aloud to Tom. It’s a classic that I remember reading when I worked as a children’s librarian in the Janesville, WI schools. Tom has never read the book, but he was very familiar with one of the passages: “...there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” We’re planning to paddle our kayaks in Lake McDonald tomorrow.
