Saying Goodbye

We have one more day here. Tomorrow  Bob will play golf  and we will pack up to leave Tuesday morning. We went to Glacier Park this evening, threw rocks in Lake McDonald and ate at Eddie's.




Eddie's has been a part of Apgar since the 50's. The family sold it a few years ago, but we wanted to eat there anyhow as part of our ongoing tradition.








No one, young or old can walk down to the shore of Lake McDonald and not throw one of the colored rocks in the water. Those who can, skip their rocks, and the rest of us just toss them in and watch the ripples spread.  Ironically it was one of the clearest, smoke-free days we've experienced, even though there are fires as close as Avalanche.







On our way "home" we drove up to the Hungry Horse Dam - boat launch - reservoir.  Construction began in April 1948 and completed in July 16, 1953. At 564 feet (172 m) in height, the dam was the third largest dam, and second highest concrete dam, in the world at the time of its completion in 1953. The dam's spillway is the highest morning glory structure in the world.(Wikipedia)






We arrived just a little before sunset, and there were so many "kodak moments"










This is NOT a poster but a picture with my little automatic digital camera.













Couldn't resist one more.
