Early Bird Special

When a place is as crowded as this place is, what is a tourist to do? We got up at 5:00 AM and headed for the park entrance. We were in the park as the sun rose and it was a much different look than yesterday. For starters, we had the place to ourselves. Secondly, the haze in the air clears out over night, so that the views are sharp and in focus. Well, we continued through the park and out and down to East Glacier where the Glacier Lodge Resort is located. Stopped in for a buffet breakfast and a tour of the lodge. Quite a place.
We then drove north up to Babb, Mt., and took the less known Many Glacier entrance into the park. As the name indicates, many glaciers are visiable from this road and it was a worth while trip. The shortest way home was back across the Going-to-the-Sun Road and this time the trip was slow, crowded, and hazy.
I heard today about the passing of Brian Moore. It was a huge shock. Brian was a great guy and a devoted family man of the highest order.

Bruce-
I am setting up a reading blog for my class. I want to be able to have a map that shows where the books we have read take place. How did you get your map of the U.S.?
