Biking in Glacier

It rained on us this morning. Thunder was our alarm clock. I thought the mountain biking would be a bust due to mud and slick surfaces so we decided not to go. It turned out to be a beautiful morning, though. I guess it was our loss. Rich and Laura said the trail was a lot of fun.

In the afternoon, we drove into Glacier and rode around on a bike path through the forest. It was really nice. Not long into the ride, we had to turn around and head back to the car. Another round of showers and thunderstorms were rolling in and we were starting to feel a few drops of rain. Once the rain started, we stopped off at a little bar right outside the entrance to the park and had a beer while sitting on the porch. It was refreshing. The rain and the beer.

Tomorrow we will leave this area and head west to Coeur d'Alene, ID. For the last few weeks we have been heading north, but now we are starting the bend that will take us to the west coast and eventually home to Texas. We have a new nephew waiting for us there, Lincoln Michael Staats. I can't wait to meet him!
