#Bucket list
Exit Glacier National Park and ride to Browning, Montana for the night?
NOT.
#Holiday Inn Express, Browning, don't go there. Terrible experience, left even though tired
#Back on bikes, head West on Highway 2 back to Kalispell, 100 miles
#Brown bear standing on his hinds on roadside - gorgeous
#Hungry
#Hot
#High crosswinds out of the mountains
#Exhausted by the time back in Kalispell at 9 pm
#Found hotel availability on third walk-in attempt (Gail, liking your idea right at this moment)
Late dinner in Kalispell:
#Moose Saloon on Main Street
#Happening small town USA small packed bar
#Dark, dimly lit
#Share a table
#Sawdust floor
#Peanut shells litter
#Loud music
#Loud patrons
#Several children under 5
#Excellent pizza
#Happy staff
