Day Six - Wrapping Up

Monday August 15th (today)
We woke up this morning still stuffed from our feast the night before. We had planned enough fajitas to feed 5 and yet there were only 3 of us to eat them. We each did our part to make sure that there were as little leftovers as possible... it was a dirty job but somebody had to do it. We were faced with the same task the next morning. A heavy breakfast didn't really sound all that good, but it was the only food that we had. So we made yet another feast of a breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, and a whole cantaloupe. Yummy!

After tearing down camp we headed to the Apgar Visitor's center to pick up a gift for Chris's mother-in-law who had so kindly packed all of the cooking gear that we had relied on so heavily all weekend. We took our last picture in front of the Glacier National Park sign at the West Entrance to the park and then headed our separate ways. They were headed east back to Wisconsin and I was headed West to Coeur d'Alene for the night and eventually out to the Pacific Coast.

After a short day of riding I made it to Post Falls, ID where I am currently sitting inside my hotel room at the Riverside Inn typing this. I've showered for the first time in nearly 5 days, done all of my laundry and am looking forward to a night out on the town and a soft warm bed tonight before heading back out tomorrow to do some more camping and hiking.
