Day 10 Logans Pass in the clouds...no sun

---

Hi everyone, today was a defcon 4 day for terror. We did the going to the sun road. While climbing it started to rain, of course. Combine rainy narrow mountain roads, steep drops ,6700 ft ,idiot tourist tailgaters and then visibility of less than 10' we were in clouds of rain. I had to talk myself down from the ledge many times. I will end with a quote from John Muir”fear not to try the mountain. They kill care, save you from deadly apathy and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic existence.” No S**t!

Well, she left out the road construction. The road just opened Friday and they are busy repairing the damages from the winter. We came back the long way, cutting thru from 89 to 49 to 2. 49 is a great little motorcycle road, however rather windy along the edge of the mountains.

I recommend the West Glacier Motel as it is about a mile from the park gate, there is a great restaurant right across the street and next to a mercantile that is like a general store with groceries. Only downside is that there was no WiFi.



Tomorrow we head West with a brief stop in Roosville,BC to exchange some Canadian currency from 2 years ago. Should be on Washington coast by Friday or before.

Side note....I am at McDonalds in Libby, MT and can not get it to attach pictures
