Day 4 - Columbia Falls (Glacier Inn Motel)
on Weather Hold (We "Hole Up" for 1 Day)

Looking east at the Glacier Peaks from our hotel.

Above:

  • We made a very smart decision, in hindsight, to sit this day out from the weather.
  • We knew 4 days earlier that a front was coming but its arrival time and strength was sketchy.
  • We watched the TV News and Weather Channel on yesterday's evening reports.
  • We determined that today was going to be a miserable day (cold, windy, and wet with an intermittent mix of rain, sleet, and snow).
  • Montana is getting its first Fall weather storm on September 10, 2014 (today).
  • We decided to HOLE UP for 24 hours.
  • The following day will be bright, clear, and sunny albeit chilly.

We walked into town (Columbia Falls, MT). This will be our breakfast.
