Leo and Connie surprised us this morning by bringing over a tiny cake with a match stuck in it for a candle and wishing us a happy anniversary, which reminded us that it was, indeed, our 14th anniversary. What a great way to start the day.
Left Havre at about nine o'clock and continued on west, where at Shelby we caught our first distant view of the snow-covered Rocky Mountains. At Browning we turned toward Glacier Park and wound our way up into the mountains to Two Medicine campground, a magnificently situated place on the edge of two pristine lakes and surrounded by lofty peaks that are still shedding their snow cover in the form of rushing waterfalls almost everywhere you look. On the way in we stopped and walked a short distance to the spectacular Running Eagle falls.
After setting up camp we walked around the campground and spotted a group of four goats or sheep that seemed to have lost their way and were nervously making their way through the campsites looking for escape. We walked on down to the general store where we looked through all the fabulous tourist trash and bought nothing. Hobos for supper. Cooled right off after the sun went behind Standing Wolf peak to our west, which made for great sleeping.
