This is the first time on the water with the new kayak. We are kayaking a small river running through Whitefish. The river ran through these tubes and we did too. She went down one tube and I the other, she turned around and went back up, couldn't make it and had to come back down the tube backwards.
Whitefish and Kalispell, MT are towns near Glacier National Park and we stayed several nights in each at Moose and Elks Clubs. Just had to see Glacier so one day we went kayaking the North Fork of the Flathead River, one day hiking, one day drove the "Going to the Sun Highway".
This is the "Going to the Sun" and lots of road construction. It was a 20 minutes wait so we took advantage and got the chairs out.
Our view of Glacier while waiting for the road crew to let traffic move. If we had to wait, this would do!
Near the top of the pass a family of Mountain Goats were putting on a show.

And a baby jumped a stone walkway while Janet captured the action.
One the way down the mountain we were last in line for the construction so got plenty of time to park in the middle of road to play at the "Weeping Wall". No pullouts here so we got lucky.
While in Kalispell we got to see one of the very few "Show Jumping" major horse shows held in the US. These were olympic caliber riders. In fact the lady who won the high honors this weekend was US Olympic Champion.
Ears up and getting ready for the next jump.
See the water splashing. They had just left a pond on the other side.
Mid air and looking for a landing.
Lots of distractions and horse and rider have to concentrate. Blocking out all the spectators, loud speakers etc.
We moved a few miles from Whitefish to Libby, MT. This is Warland Creek on Lake Koocanusa north of Libby only a few miles from the Canada Border. Looking north to Canada, this campsite is the location of the Libby, MT Boondockers Rendezvous.

Kayaking Lake Koocanusa.
We would never break the law.
This is the USA - Canada border on Lake Koocanusa. Janet's kayak might be half in/half out of the Canada. RCMP might not like this.
The Community Center in Yaak, MT not far from Libby.
And the outhouses at the Community Center. Not active. Things are up-to-date in Yaak.
Janet and a little comic "relief".
Sign in the up-to-date outhouses.
