WEST GLACIER, MT - - I'd like to say we're doing all sorts o fun things, but the smoke is getting smokier and the Sprague Creek wildfire continues to grow.  We were all set for a hike to celebrate Lydia's 67th birthday.  The heavy smoke at Logan Pass made the decision easy...take the short one.  The fun continued when we tried to head back down Going to the Sun (West) to the campground.  The fire was getting to close to the road so the park closed it to allow the fire fighters clear work access.  Late Monday the winds kicked up making the fire fighters job tougher still and sending fine ash to lightly cover everything.
     Heavy smoke is still covering some areas Monday morning encouraging more and more visitors to hit the road.  At this point we're undecided on staying one more night.
