The Gang of Three is Heading West (cont. VII)

 

Wednesday, June 29

Yesterday we drove through the Grand Teton National Park with the most beautiful weather possible. We had to pass three times the Continental Divide (Continental Divide of the Americas ) to get there. A special event was the grizzly mom (not Palin) with her cups roaming next to the highway. The day before I was reading about this in the msnbc online news. (Read the story here) And now I have pictures too.

Unfortunately the Whitefish/Glacier National Park KOA is restricting the bandwidth use of the internet so I cannot upload the pictures yet, but they will come….. Just check in again or RSS the page!

Today we drove 400 miles through the unbelievably gorgeous landscape of western Montana up to Kalispell, with the intend to visit tomorrow Glacier National Park. Hopefully the weather is better tomorrow, it is raining right now.

As a special treat I will visit tomorrow morning (5 am) the Back Home Bakery (Mark’s Home Page). Mark indicated that there will be some fresh croissants for me, THE BEST CROISSANTS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI!! (maybe also east).

And here are the pictures:

Always somebody who is taking a picture for you

The snow is still very high at this altitude and of course invites.....

 

How do I go down now and where are my hiking shoes..

 

Peng!! Volltreffer, but at least I'm down now...

And here we are, good people from Wisconsin took this picture

Aren't they cute, at least from a distance and not between the mother and them....

Even without a polarized lens, beautiful..

 

 

And another one....

 

 

Rush hour in Yellowstone

 

Traffic comes to a complete standstill

 

Finally back at our campsite..

 

And that's how a delux campsite for 80 bucks looks like, I guess they can ask for that because the campground was completely booked

 

Well work was not done yet for me..

 

I wanted to mix a dough and retard it in the fridge over night...

 

To bake it in Mark's bakery the next day...
