Thursday, June 23.. Zip Line, and Hungry Horse, Mt Dam

We were interrupted last night at 0230 by a terrific lightning storm, and light rain.  We were worried about being rained out on our planned zip line expedition today.

Not to worry, we woke up to beautiful sunshine and temps in the 60's.  So Brandon and I headed down the road at 815 or so to Whitefish Mountain. 

We got checked in, signed up, and did our orientation and out we went... We did a total of 6 zips, including a treat of 2 rides on the biggest one.   Here's Brandon doing the Big Zip: We zipped about 1300 feet or so, over 300 feet above the valley floor... The speed was about 45 mph, which is why you hear the wind blowing so hard!  At the end, you smack into a landing zone.  We had to stop for about 15 minutes during the trip when a big rain shower came through-  Lots of fun.

After our zip line, we ate lunch in downtown Whitefish, then we decided to head to the Dam at Hungry Horse.  Pretty awesome views. 

Tomorrow, we're off to Glacier National Park- and will do as much of the Eastern Side of the park as we can. 
Saturday, we're off to Browning, Montana, then over to Great Falls and a 7 pm ball game. 

Just got off a nice Skype session with Greenwood, Cooper, you're looking fine!
