Both of these articles on-line, today, The Wall Street Journal:
bike Going-To-The-Sun Road every spring before the road is opened to motor vehicles, generally between mid-May and mid-July.
Going-to-the-Sun Road is the only road in Glacier that traverses the park, running east to west over the Lewis Range’s Logan Pass.
It closes fully during winter and remains closed to motorized vehicles while park road crews take on the monumental task of clearing accumulated snow.
Considering the upper road can see snow drifts of up to 60 or even 80 feet, it takes until June and often well into July to fully plow. Before then, typically starting in late April or May, hikers and cyclists are allowed on the cleared sections of the road. This year, the road won’t fully open to cars until July 13, at the earliest.
When the entire 50-mile stretch of pavement once again welcomes cars, buses and RVs, traffic jams are common. In other words, those few months in between the inhospitable winter and bumper-to-bumper summer present a rare chance to soak up the astounding beauty of Glacier’s scenic road in relative solitude.
Flathead Lake, feature, lakefront property; house.
His guest house is bigger than my planned house on my lot. But I have a nicer location. LOL. From the article I can't tell if "they" are on the west side of the lake or the east side. Doesn't matter; both views are nice. They wanted a view of the setting sun and the lake, so I assume they are on the east side of the lake, facing west.
It's hard to believe my mom and dad left "us" -- the five siblings -- two lots and an incredible vacation home on the lake. The youngest sister owns the vacation home now but it's open year-round to all siblings. Meanwhile, I have an adjoining lot, bought from my mother, on which I never plan to build.
I will leave it for our grandchildren, our parents' great-grandchildren to do with the lot what they want. Me? I love the green space. I don't need another house.
If AAPL shares trade at $285 in late 2024 as forecast by Gene Munster, I may re-consider about building. LOL.
What brands of bike do you recommend?

I'm guessing Finley Point---so east side. As a kid I spent two weeks every summer at Flathead----- one week at Scout Camp on Melita Island (could still never tie a knot very well) and one week at Lutheran Bible Camp. At scout camp we always had one day trip over to Wild Horse Island and that was before there were any structures on the island save one decrepit lodge. Lots of good memories.
DeleteYou are probably correct. I hope to retire at the northwest side of Flathead Lake when I'm 90 years old.
