We had a wonderful vacation in July 2004 in Glacier National Park, Montana. We enjoyed the pleasure of the company of the Pojes - Jim and Sandy, Nadine, Sally and John + Grandfolks Mary and Warren. The Johnsons - Andrew and Penny, Lizzie, Alice and Angus.

We travelled by train from San Jose to East Glacier Park, Montana - 2 nights and 1 day. We stayed for 3 nights in Many Glacier Hotel, 3 nights in Apgar Village and 2 nights at Sperry Chalet.

One of the best holidays we've ever had - thanks guys for your splendid company.

 

We split into 2 groups today. Andrew, Penny, John, Jim, Ali and Robin did the Ptarmigan Tunnel Trail - about 14 miles round trip and 2300 feet climb. Very beautiful - although we were surprised when it suddenly started raining on the way back and we got very wet. The others went for another boat trip - because Angus had charmed the boat captain to let him drive it!. What a little guy he is for any form of transport. Boats, planes, trains, cars - he loves them all.


Angus is very excited
Have a nice day
