…I guess we’re taking a “vacation from our vacation” (not that this hasn’t been a working vacation).   We were delighted to discover that it’s possible to take more than 2 days off in a row, so tomorrow we are heading up to Glacier National Park–to travel the “Going to the Sun Road” and see how many bears and goats we can find (not to mention glaciers, flowers, mountains and other assorted evidence of how magnificent mother nature is).  Don’t know whether I’ll have net access up there…so expect something next weekend.

The photo is of a Yellowstone “HYB”  (historic yellow bus).  They use the same buses at Glacier–but they are painted red and have 1 more row of seats.  The buses  were used at the park early in the century and were revived within the past 5 years.  They have all new engines (no clutch!) but still retain the old wooden frame doors and the canvas roofs that can be rolled back when the weather is beautiful.
