Sunday, July 3 -Site A53, Apgar Campground, Glacier National Park, MT - 96.7 miles, 12,869.4 for the trip

Woke up to rain again this morning - my towel was out on the line "Getting Dry" (not) and my chair had a puddle of water in the seat. Since I wasn't going to be able to spend the day sitting around in the sun reading, I decided to drive as far up the "Going to the Sun" road as possible. "As possible" was to the Avalanche Creek stop. I did get some photos of McDonald Creek running faster than I've ever seen it. It rained off & on along the 16 miles of the road. After that I drove into Kalispell to get a new 25' hose for the trailer water system. The one that came with it kinks far to easily. On the way back I drove by a beautiful mustard seed field & had to stop for a photo. An update - at the suggestion of a viewer, it is likely that the "Mustard Seed" field is actually Canola. I didn't find anyone to ask, but when he was in the same area he did and was told they were Canola fields. In any case, very impressive color combinations!

Since the rain stopped, I spent the rest of the afternoon reading or putting up this webpage. It's going to be pork chops, green beans & salt potatoes for dinner.

Till Tomorrow!
