Day 23/24

Kane and Hank had thier passports sent to the genreal delivery at columbia falls, 10 miles east of white fish.Stopping at sallys for some food, we soon were procrasting with an american flag that a lady had given us. Posing with it in any way possiable we realizing that we had been playing with the American Flag for about an hour. so we headed off. A quick stop at a sporting goods store, we looked around and didnt see Kane or Donald. Turns out Kane got another flat. All of our flats have been due to staples in the road. We have no clue as to why so many staples are out in the road, other than to piss off cyclists. A left turn onto highway 40 from whitefish and we had our first view of the magnificent Glacier Park mountains. Monsterous white tipped mountains rose from the horizion. Intimedating and beautiful in so many ways. We have finally made it to Glacier. Columbia falls sits 20 miles from the beggining of Going to the Sun Road. Kane's passport was still a couple days behind from the choas of fourth of july. We had to stay the night in glacier, and found a nice rv park on the foothills of Glacier. Surrounded by Rv's and tipies, we settled in, and so did the rainclouds. Out in the distance we spotted thich, heavy, and dark clouds rolling towards us. Soon large bolts of lighting lit the sky followed by a mad ferious clapps of thunder. Rushing into the motel lobby, we waited it out. With the rain reciding, we headed back to our camp to finish the night.          
Waking in the morning we called the post office and found that the passport still had not arrived. Being forced into taking another rest day, (we didnt complain) we stayed at the rv park once agian. Strolling through town for a while we visited a book store, and a stayed at a coffe shop for a long time. Spending a little bit of our beer fund, we headed back to camp to play some hacky sack, read, and dip into the hot tub. Another dinner of "stirred" rice and off to sleep we were hoping that Kane's parcel had arrived so we could enter Glacier.
