A Weekend at Glacier

A couple of weekends ago Traci and I made a trip to Glacier National Park just for the weekend. This year is the centennial year of the park so we didn't want to miss out on this opportunity. We had originally made plans to be there for the 4th of July but due to a series of events, we weren't able to make it then. Since the summer season only last about 3-4 months, the "Going to the Sun" road is limited to travel for a short period and that urged us even more to make a trip there. We left on Friday afternoon and arrived at the park around midnight. We then began our day at around 7 am and drove through the park until 3pm. Since Traci's parents were staying at Quake Lake near Yellowstone, we decided we would joined them (which meant about 7 hours of driving). We met up with them at 9pm on Saturday night and after a good night rest, we began our trip back home around 8am Sunday.

On our way back, we drove through Sheridan, MT and acquired another Jeep. It's 1980 Jeep Cherokee Chief with an automatic transmission. (Just like our Gray Jeep) The plan is to take the suspension from that Jeep and switch it with our Jeep, because what's the point of having a lift if we don't take it offroading? But anyway, it sure was a lot of driving for just a weekend trip but it was well worth it. Glacier National Park is one very awesome place even when it's hazy.
