#24 Logans Pass with the Haboraks

Peg and Bob Haborak arrived Tuesday afternoon after two days of flying...something I wouldn't want to do! P&B are Jack's sister and brother in law-they haven't seen this part of the country and have never been camping...I'm impressed at how well they're adjusting. Peg calls the rig "HOW" -Hilton on Wheels-it's not but that's a nice gesture. Our first full day was going to Glacier to Logans Pass. Glacier began an ambitious project 4 years ago, and close the Going to the Sun Road every night at 9:00pm till 8:00am. Because of the construction there can be as much as 40 min. delays. To help with the traffic they're providing free shuttles from various places in Glacier. We took the shuttle and .,.boy, were we glad! A thunderstorm that produced hail started when we were about the middle of the trip, and the windows were so fogged up we couldn't see anything. Later, Bob said he was glad 'cause if he had seen the dropoff he wouldn't have gotten off the shuttle!

The shuttle kept us informed as to where we were and what time is was.

The weather cleared just as we arrived at the Pass...Breathtaking!

This plaque acknowledges the uniqueness of the Park...

So, here we are!

It seemed bizarre to see flowers amid the snow...

Jack was giving Peg & Bob their first lesson in eating the glacial snow..Cold!

And, of course, it wouldn't be a blog without critters...The big horn sheep were right outside of the shuttle as we started down the Pass....Yes, they were that close!

And a blog would not be complete without a waterfall...

I heard "WOW" a few times from the seat behind me....

It was late and we were tired but more hungry than tired.....So Jack took us to the MacDonald Lodge for dinner..

And after dinner, a quick rest at the fireplace-who can resist a fire like that?

The next day the guys went fishing-this is a stocked pond at the campground we're staying at.

Peg and I went shopping and on the way home she saw a guy selling huckleberries-only the second day of the season, so of course she had to buy some....

Then after dinner Jack announced we had to finish our homework for our Jr. Ranger badges...thought P&Js kids would like to see them working so hard!
