Day 2

We got on the road around 9:30 which T-man commented “was early for us.” The scenery varies, but often went from high plains for long stretches down into valleys carved from rivers. You could see Glacier Park looming to the west for a good period of the drive. And the last part of the drive was WINDY! (I was glad to not be driving at RV). We grabbed McDonald’s for breakfast and T-man watched a movie the first part of the drive. 

We made a long pit stop in Great Falls where we played some disc golf, got lunch and gas and then drove along the Missouri River to see the falls. We talked about Lewis and Clark (but didn’t stop at the interpretive center). 

We then popped in a book on tape for the next part of our journey to Many Glacier Hotel. We arrived around 6:30, changed into warmer clothes, explored the hotel and the ground and grabbed dinner at the Swiss Lounge. T-man then took a bath in the claw tub and I relaxed over looking the lobby. We then played cards to wrap up the night. 

I had worried about conversation topics during the trip, but that hasn’t been a problem at all. We joked. We laughed. And yes, we got rained on again. Besides the movie in the morning, no electronics at all for T-man. I call that winning. And the historic hotel is magical for me. I hope T-man remembers it that way too. 

Over looking Billings before we depart
