Original Saturday post: I have some photos and information about our day today, but haven’t downloaded any photos yet so that will have to wait until Sunday night.
Currently I am sitting in a laundromat in Kalispell – with good internet coverage! – so I was able to post the past few day’s blog post.

Continued Saturday post:
First thing this morning we took a hike on the Trail of Cedars in the Avalanche Creek area. It was an easy hike and a great way to start the day.
After that we followed Avalanche Creek back towards Lake McDonald and took several turn offs that revealed beautiful cascades over large rocks.
As we were viewing one of the locations along Avalanche Creek where there was a bridge across the creek, I was thinking to myself, “this is where we saw a horse riding group going across this bridge.”
Well, today again, “right on cue” the horse back riders came around the bend and across the bridge!
The last stop was the McDonald waterfall.
One last thing we couldn’t miss this visit to West Glacier was to build a stone tower on the beach of Lake McDonald. In 2002 when we visited Glacier NP with our daughter Lisa the first thing we did when we arrived was to walk down to the shore and build a stone tower. We repeated the tradition on our 2015 visit also.
This afternoon we decided to drive to Kalispell (about 30 miles away) and get some errands accomplished. Jim needed to make a stop to Lowes (an electrical connector to reconnect one of our cabin batteries) and to Auto Zone (a new bulb for one of the Jetta headlights) and he was then able to complete those two repairs today. Then we stopped to a laundromat to take care of our overflowing hamper. While waiting for the laundry to go through the machines I was able to bring my laptop in and connect to my phone hot spot and get the last two days of blogs uploaded. Then we swung into a Walmart and picked up a few groceries to get us through the next week. So it turned out to be a very productive afternoon!
