Jul 7 - Day 13

Ladies shuttled bikers back to Whitefish where they started ride at 7:30. It was a cool morning, 43 degrees. First 15-20 miles dealt with a headwind, also last 10 miles. Rode to Marias Pass, Continental Divide which is about 11 miles west of the town of East Glacier. Bikers had to navigate through a nasty one-lane traffic, construction area at West Glacier and 3 miles of the ride was on an unpaved road. They are now over the Rocky Mountains and have completed 757 miles, a new milestone. Riding is easier when the weather is nice. High temp. for the day was in the low 70's. They saw deer and Jerry took a picture of a lovely mountain goat. Ladies spent the day looking for a place to stay. East Glacier motels were full because of North American Indian days hosted in Browning, MT. Finally found a small house rented out by the Dancing Bears Inn. We stopped at the Glacier Park Lodge where Arlene, Ned and Donna & Gary Heberlig stayed 5 yrs. ago. Arlene & JoAnn ate lunch at one of their picnic tables.
