I just dropped Megan and Twiggy off at the bustling Kalispell &#8220;International&#8221; (because it&#8217;s 50 miles from Canada) Airport, and am now at the Kalispell Library uploading the rest of our photos &#8211; hooray! By the way, The internet access here is one of the finest setups I&#8217;ve seen anywhere &#8211; and all the terminals run Linux!\u00c2\u00a0 I apologize for the vast number of nature shots we&#8217;ve taken, but Glacier National Park is really one of the most spectacular places I&#8217;ve ever been. Also, there&#8217;s several shots at the end that will appear to be of the same rocky crag &#8211; they&#8217;re all shots that I insisted Megan take of far-off bighorn sheep &#8211; if you zoom in a lot, you may be able to see the brownish blobs&#8230;they&#8217;re sheep &#8211; really! Needless to say, Megan and I had a great time in Glacier, and had a couple of really great hikes (our cycling cleats didn&#8217;t bother us so much, but it&#8217;s amazing how you use different muscles for hiking versus cycling &#8211; we thought we were in shape!)\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m looking forward to having a second run in the park as I ride though on my bike &#8211; I may decide to take an extra day there to get in another hike or two. We saw some mountain goats, bighorn sheep, elk, and even a bear (i think it&#8217;s a black bear, but it may be a grizzly). Those shots of the bear, by the way, are a bit blurry because they were taken while I was hastily backing away saying &#8216;hey, bear&#8230;.hey, bear&#8230;&#8217; -\u00c2\u00a0 he caught me a bit by surprise.<\/p>\n<p>It was sad to drop Megan off, and it&#8217;s a little intimidating to be on my own &#8211; but given the number of cycle tourists we saw on our way into town today, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll find some folks to ride with from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>Okay &#8211; time to get moving again &#8211; I&#8217;ll try and keep you all posted as my cell phone allows.
