no phone/internet service ???? !!!!

I'll make this short and expand on our activities later.
We have been in Glacier National Park (THE most beautiful place on earth), for 6 days, with no wireless connection to the outside world.... Wow, it was beautiful !
Did I say it was beautiful ? .... totally unbelievable !
Yesterday we drove up into the eastern Glacier mountains to Many Glacier, took a boat the length of Swift Current Lake, hiked 1/2 mile over a glacial moraine hill, took another boat the then end of Lake Josephine, then hiked for an hour to Lake Grinnell, which is accessible only by trail.
   The side story is that second lake is also accessible only by trail .... so how did they get the boat to it ?
   Well they hired a crew of college guys to haul/ and or roll it (on styrofoam logs) up the 1/2 mile creek into
   the middle lake.   
Anyway, today we are on our way to Spokane.  Charlotte, Charlies friend will catch a plane there.  We are stopped in Kalispell, Montana at a Walgreen's store to get prescriptions refilled and we have internet and phone service.
More later,
Marilyn
