Gorgeous day we woke up to. Started in the west entrance, missed turn in the road and ended up having a great time. We talked to a gal on a mountain bike and she suggested we go about 12 miles on a dirt road to a "town" called Polebridge, she said they have the best baked goods you'll ever have and it's a beautiful drive. Why not? we said. We stopped along the way at a little gift store/restaurant that seemed to be out in the middle of nowhere, ended up staying about an hour talking with the owner and a customer. He told us we had to see Bowman Lake and told us about another dirt road about 6 miles past Polebridge. So off we went, got to Polebridge, which actually consists of two buildings and runs on a generator, there isn't electricity out in that area, and the baked goods were fabulous, we got a Huckleberry Pie for dessert and yummy cookies for the road. Continued on to Bowman Lake, which was gorgeous, by now it had started raining. We drove a little farther and saw lots of deer in the fields.
As we were driving back to our campground, the skies decided to open up and we had tons of rain, a little hail, and an incredible thunder and lightening show!!
At the campground we're staying at, they have an outside pit BBQ, Glacier BBQ it's called and they cook the meat over Cottonwood, we had our scrumptuous Father's Day dinner outside by a fire, it was a covered patio and it was raining and delicious.

Hard to see, but these are Mountain Goats on the hill, it's near Goat Lick, these goats travel from Canada, sometimes over 100 miles to get the minerals from this area, they only do this once a year.
