Great Falls, MT - where I don’t want to be for 4 nights!


Yes, I have been here before!  Four years ago I was here for the BMW MOA Rally and I wasn’t impressed with the town then.  I am here to pick up Pattie from her flight.  We will then leave for Glacier National Park.  I already had the reservation for 4 nights when I got to Red Lodge.  I should have stayed 3 nights there and I would have totally enjoyed the area, the food and the people!  No I pushed on and have regretted it!

So tonight I decided that I wanted a good Italian meal.  I have grown tired of the gas station fried chicken, which seems to be a western US thing, and the hot dogs.  So I got online and searched for a good Italian restaurant.  You have to be kidding me ……Pizza Hut!  That is all there is  here.  I didn’t even want to try Chinese because the only ones I have seen have a Casino attached like most of the restaurants.  So I ended up eating Mexican for the 3rd time in 2 days.  I am still dreaming about the steak I had in Red Lodge!


The best place to eat in Great Falls, MT.  I ate here 4 years ago with Ray Hunting!


I have managed to put in 2 miles of walking everyday to keep my legs in good shape.  I suspect that I have lost a few pounds in the process.  Tonight I set off to circle the mall next to my hotel and maybe find something in the food court.  The mall is huge and has 7 stores that are open and the other 40 are long gone.  Very lonely feeling being in a huge mall with nobody there.  And yes, everything in the food court was closed.  So after my brisk walk I returned to the Comfort Inn.

Tomorrow night I pick up Pattie at the airport and Monday morning we are off to Saint Mary, the eastern entrance to Glacier and The going to the Sun road.

A difficult year in many ways!

Let's see, it all started with an unusually cold and persistent winter.  No, there was no Indian Summer as we tend to have in January.  ...
