Day 7....

This morning, just 50 yds down beach from camp....yes indeed we did see a grizzly.  Was an avg sized bear.  We're sunnin' on beach and wife says..."look a bear"...Grizz is chasing a deer right down the beach.  Deer loses the grizz by ducking into woods.  Bear stops and looks at us for a few seconds and disappears into trees also..
...."Just great" I thought...Now there's a hungry bear thinking about me!

Driving back to West Glacier...we stop in the small village of Polebridge.  This place is like a LSD trip.  You can go back in time and see flower children (now in their 50-60's) running the place.  Electricity by generator only.  One of the few phones in the North fork is here.  And here is where a little slice of heaven comes down to Earth.  The bakery here makes some treats that I can't even describe.  We fill our gastrums on $20 worth and call it lunch.

Remainder of day is back across GTS hiway and up to Waterton park for the night.  We were to hike the infamous Crypt lake trail at Waterton tomorrow, but I can't even walk to the bathroom because of the ulcers on my feet.  That hike is off, but we head up to Canada for the night anyway.   Waterton village is pretty touristy.  I took no pics of the place.
