Day 28 We just want a shower

Saying goodbye to Glacier was hard, but had to be done. Going to the sun road open tomorrow, we thought about waiting, then heard that an estimated 40,000 people were to be on it, we decided to leave. One last meal at Eddie's restaraunt, we said bye to glacier, and the cute waitresses at the cafe. The sun was beaming on us as we pedeled onto highway 2, which will take us south under glacier, over Marias Pass and into East Glacier. Starting a small paceline to fight the headwinds, we rolled by the town Essex after 20 miles. Starving, sweating, and thirsty we wandered into nothing we excepted. Reminding us of Diablo, Washington the town consisited of just houses. At the end of the road we found a very cool hotel, were we filled up on water and found that we past the last grocery store intill East Glacier a mile back. Hot and exhuasted we just wanted food and a shower. Splitting into two groups, one went back to the store for dinner and the other pushed on to Marias to find the first campground with a shower. On the way to Marias, Hank, Kane and Donald spotted a waterfall off the side. Pulling over we found the Silver Stairs waterfalls. White water splashed over huge steps from 50 feet above, cascading into a small creek. Talking to the usual curious stranger confused by why we are on our bikes going across the country, we found that Beau and Evan were only a couple of miles behind us. Around this time they we stopped talking quick snapshots of Mountian Goats crossing the field. The first group reached the first campground, Devils Creek, and found from some local campers that there isnt a campground with showers for about 70 miles. Lazy, we stopped for the day, choosing to try the creek for a shower. The group reunited we one by one dipped into the ice water and scrubbed the salty sweat and dirt from ourselves. Hanging our food in a tree incase of bears, we all easly feel to sleep.
