All Montana, All Day Long...Day Two

We awoke with a bunch of bikers that were Sturgis bound, but they were all very friendly, which from what I can understand is against their image, but I digress...Glacier National Park was absolutely amazing. It took us 3 hours to drive 90 miles and it was worth it! The views were breathtaking and aweinspiring. Near the visitors center is the continental divide, which rests at 6,646ft or 2025M.

After leaving the Park, we had to drive slowly through the remains of a large forest fire. It was incredible to see what both the fire and heat does to nature.

Then things got flater and straighter and it was all about distance. We drove highway 2, which is the less traveled of roads and it was a peaceful drive. The landscape was diverse with a few bumps and bangs along the way. One of the factors of driving on a less than populated road is that nature doesn't see you coming or doesn't understand what to do with you...unfortunately along the way three birds attacked the Green Machine and the Machine won...the first was the biggest shocker since neither one of us had any idea until we pulled over at a gas station to fill up. That is when Sarah found the little guy stuck inbetween where the hood of the car opens. Now the most entertaining part of this was another car at the station where the woman in the car couldn't stop staring at us while we gracefully squeegeed the bird off the front hood of the car. Now for you crazy folks out there, no there are no pictures of this incident, so your imagination will have to do. We ended that day in Glendive Montana at a little place that happened to be housing the local Senator.
