August 14 west to Kalispell, Flathead Co., Montana.
Drove all morning at a snails pace & reached
Glacier Motors (VW dealer) east of Kalispell on US 2 around
noon. Obtained a hotel room & rented a Hertz Car
for 24 hrs. Drove to Glaciers Park to return the
Sharpe girls to their camp (they have been with
me since August 5). Heard gossip about 2 girls
killed by separate Grizzly Bears at 2 locations in
Glacier Park.
August 15 Kalispell, Montana
Valve job done on VW while I suffered in heat.
Drove to Glacier in VW at 6 PM.
August 16. Glacier National Park, Montana to Missoula, Montana
Drove to Headquarters (from Aralanche Campground)
and talked to Dan Henning (Ph.D Syracuse; now
prof of Political Science at Eastern Montana College, Billing -
politics of
a conservation specialist) and Chief Naturalist Elmore.
Drove south on US 2, then Mont. 35, then US 93
to Post Creek Store (4 1/2 miles nno. of St. Ignatius)
where my car clattered to a stop (rods out
apparently). Unhappily I was towed to
Missoula to Universal Motors (VW dealer).
Got a Hotel (cheap - Lenox Hotel $3) on Broadway st.
August 17 Missoula, Montana.
A day of odds & ends - mostly odd.
VW - can't be worked on until Monday (Aug. 21)
& due to my rebuilt engine, parts may
be hard to get.
