Over the river and through the woods...


We took several days and traveled to Glacier National Park over Labor Day weekend. Sorry we weren't there for parade day but it was worth it. It was phenomenal, fabulous, breathtaking, and a blast...and pictures just don't do it justice but here are a few...

Day 1 - Heading to Salmon and on to Missoula for the night.





Day 2 - On to Glacier National Park. Take the Road To The Sun to Logan Pass.







We're going where???













Now I know why they call it "Road To The Sun".





After a cold, long, late night ride and much needed help from Amanda, we finally found the last room in Missoula at 11pm because there wasn't a single vacancy in Kalispell. Who knew...Labor Day weekend and we were living on the edge w/o reservations.



Day 3 - Over Lolo Pass on the Lochsa River. Beautiful, cold, and wet and oh, did I mention...COLD.










Follow the Salmon River heading to Riggins...











From Riggins we went to McCall for the night and a hot meal at The Mill. Excellent Prime Rib!!!









Day 4 - From McCall we rode through Stanley, passing the Sawtooth Mts, into Ketchum, Craters of the Moon, and home. There weren't many pics that turned out on Day 4. I must have been getting tired. Ya think? Home sweet home after 1500 milles, but ahhh...memories :)

Hey all - it's been a busy summer. There's been lots of painting and some demolition. 2 of the 3 wooden graneries on the Rich Place are coming down. All that's left of the one is the floor joists and foundation. We are going to tear into the other one this coming weekend (anyone who wants to join in is invited). I thought you all might like to see what mom does in her spare time (with help from Nate B.). She's quite the budding artist.
Hope summer has treated you all right. Love you all heaps.
