Into every trip...

Here was the news greeting us on the iPhone this morning: a pretty
major storm in our path along US-2 toward Glacier (from Chinook via
Cut Bank on the map), temps in the 40s, and snow advisories on the
western side of the park. (Okay, it's no Gustav, but it's tough riding
weather to be sure.)

After a leisurely morning, and an unfortunate delay due to a bone-
headed gaff on my part pertaining to the placement of my (only set of)
motorcycle keys, we set off in the rain nevertheless. Despite having
so many layers I felt a bit like a sausage packed into my shirt,
flannel, fleece, moto jacket, and raingear, it took only 20 miles to
convince us that today might be better spent indoors, which is where
we'll be today. Tomorrow calls for warmer, drier weather. And
hopefully, Glacier! Happy Labor Day one and all.
