I. THE BIG PICTURE
Montana's
Glacier National Park was the site
of our 8th annual reunion with Judy's high school girl friends. Via interstate
highways, it's about 1,000 miles from here, but we decided to take an extra
day or two both going and returning to see parts of Wyoming and Idaho we
hadn't seen or not seen in over 30 years. We drove north to Cheyenne and
west to
Green River for the first
night; then to Kemmerer (Wyoming),
Fossil
Butte National Monument, and Pocatello for the second night; and then
north through
Challis and
Salmon, across Lost Trail Pass
into Montana to
Missoula,
the Flathead Valley, and finally
to
Whitefish that would be our
base for the next five nights.
