Bill said we hit the jackpot at the Staybridge Hotel because of the free laundry facilities. I said, "If they did the laundry for us, that would be hitting the jackpot." I offered to do Jack's laundry, too, but he insisted on doing his own. We had a leisurely breakfast, included with the room, and ventured out to Glacier Nat'l Park. It was rainy and cloudy most of the ride to Glacier. Once actually in the park, the sun was out, but the rain clouds added huge drama to the magnificent landscape. The bears were out, too. A mama and her two cubs elicited a bark out of timid Solo. Then a lone bear was seen crossing the road right in front of our car. It was such a thrill for all of us to finally see real live bears! The road through the peaks was very scary at times, especially when we were in one of those clouds. Bill did a great job, and we all got beautiful pictures. That was just the start of our day. As it turned out, we could not find a room from here to Spokane. Well, 20 miles east of Spokane. We pulled off I-90 at 2am (EST). Luckily, we gained an hour traveling into PST. Long day. We learned a good lesson about being fussy about hotels.
