Stage two: COMPLETE!

August 17th

Cranked up the fire again this morning before we left and it felt great as it was a little chilly again.  Hit the trail around 7 and around noon time found some pavement which took us just south of Glacier National Park.  Took the road to the sun across Logan Pass in Glacier.  Very beautiful views of the mountains and a few of the remaining glaciers in the park.  Well worth the cost to travel through the park.  Popped out on the East side of the park and was only about 10 miles from the border between the U.S. and Canada.  So up to Canada we headed.  Went right across the border with out any problems and motored on up to Cardston, Alberta where we found a campground to spend the night.  As we crossed the border we completed the Continental Divide trail, which was what this whole trip was about.  It was an incredible ride through so many different landscapes and climates that sometimes it was easy to forget that we where in the same state or even country.  Our next leg of the journey we most likely be the hardest as we plan to be home by Sunday evening and have around 2500 miles to do in 4 days.
