WEST GLACIER, MT - - We've returned to our favorite place in Montana: Glacier Campground and Glacier National Park. If we were still working as shuttle drivers on Going to the Sun Road, we'd be out of jobs. A lightning strike eight days ago grew from a smouldering spot into 11,000 acres of wildfire and keeps growing. It hasn't gotten us a "be ready to evacuate" order yet, but it could. The GTS road is closed (on this, West, side), Lake McDonald Lodge and three major campgrounds have been evacuated; numerous small businesses with the park are closed. Mother Nature is a b.... sometimes.
The town of Whitefish might be a bit smokey, but things haven't slowed down. Montana Coffee Traders still puts out a 'mean' brew and the Burlington Northern keeps the freight moving from destination to destination.
