Day 25 GOING TO THE SUN ON KANE'S BIRTHDAY


Today is Kane's 21st birthday. His passport had arrived, and the campsites at Glacier had just opened. Hank and evan got up early and left to Glacier to make sure we got a prime spot at Apgar Campground. Which sits right on lake Mc Donald. The rest of the boys went to the post office to get kane's passport, and then rode to meet us. The ride was a easy 15 miles, with a o.k shoulder on and off. Climbing up a hill, we descended into west glacier, were the mountains stared down on us. They are so huge!! At the west entrance, we paid the 12 dollar entrance fee. A beatiful bike path lead us to the campground through thick ceders. Staking in our tents we went to check out the lake. Rolling into Apgar village we were shocked, there was a town inside the campground. A restaraunt, esspresso shop, ice cream shop, grocery store and three gift shops. It was a mad house with tourist every where. Weaving through the mass of people we made it the lake and stood in awe. The mountains are amazing, the lake sits at the bottom of large towering snow covered mountains. Just look at the pictures, it was amazing. With the rest of the boys arriving, we began to celebrate Kane's birthday, with a couplke of beers and chilli dogs. A great way to start our adventure in Glacier.
