Road to the Sun



We spent the day driving the Road to the Sun—1926 technology and still impressive. It was staggeringly beautiful. We did the whole loop all the way around the park. This park definitely gets an A+.




Although I am a desert rat at heart, this part of Montana will take your breath away. (I have to admit that the narrowness of the road and the overhang made me a tad anxious. I couldn’t help remembering the 7.1 quake of 1959 that killed 25 people are formed a new lake back in Gallatin.








Water is everywhere! Byrdie and Talus got to swim in lakes that can only be imagined in California. Speaking of California and water…….I looked at all the abundant water in Montana and couldn’t help feeling how nice it would be for California to get some of their water. They obviously have more than they could ever use—and we are so needy.
We will need to return to Glacier. I want to drive into the Canadian part of the park and have High Tea at Waterton. I want to take the boat tours on St. Mary Lake and Two Medicine. I want more time to just sit still and absorb the grandeur.
STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT MY OPINION ON SOMETHING.
It's been odd being out of touch with news--no TV, no internet and no cell phone. I finally got a radio station and heard that CA has cut $9 billion for public schools from its budget. I say at least it’s a start! Maybe sex ed will be one mandated program among many that will shave off a few administrators. I could teach sex ed in about 3 minutes. If you do it, you’ll get pregnant. Or, if you’re a boy, she’ll get pregnant. What you say? Just kill off the baby with federal dollars? You say it’s just a blob, not a baby? Well, if it’s not a baby then I guess you’re not pregnant. No problem!
