Day 29: July 12: (first day of week 5): Babb, MT to Many Glacier National Park Campground, MT: about 12 miles:

I heard from Roger today. It took a credit card and a pay phone; there is no cell service at all. Dang it.

Yesterday they biked south west from Babb to the campground. This place is so popular it's 1st come 1st serve sites.

Today they hiked the mountains, about 5+ miles out. Part of this was in snow. They made it to Iceberg Lake and YES, it is still frozen!!! This is July, RIGHT?? They even had some excitement on the route. Some young guys were snowboarding and one busted up his ankle really bad. The guys called for a rescue and our group watched him be air lifted out by chopper.

Roger said everyone was fine and having a great time. They are loving this park!!! The scenery is, I'm sure, amazing.

Tomorrow they will bike back to Babb for the box from Hostell Bike Shop in Stevens Point, WI, if it is there. They will then head down to St. Mary, the start of Going-to-the-Sun Road. It is supposed to open completely tomorrow. If this is the case, they will do some exploring and camp in the park. Thursday they plan to bike the 50 miles of Going-to-the-Sun Road and continue on their journey. I can't wait to see the pictures Chris will post from this area. They should be breathtaking.

I sure hope their troubles are behind them and the rest of their trip is just exciting.
