R.E. Johnson 1967 Journal 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.
