Today we and Gene and Lynn went separate ways to finish the trip. They wanted to explore Glacier National Park another couple of days and they were also going to stop in Belgrade, Montana for another couple of days to visit Gene’s aunt. We were ready to go on toward home. We stopped for a stroll around Big Fork, Montana near Kalispell. It has a charming village with many art galleries, gift shops, theatre and a marina on the shore of Flathead Lake. One of the stops was the Eric Thorsen Sculpture Gallery where we saw some of the most exquisite and detailed wildlife sculptures you could ever imagine. Some of the fish were so perfect I could have sworn that it was taxidermy work. The man has won world class competitions and it is easy to see why. From there we followed highway #83 down to Seeley Lake, Montana. It followed the Swan River and passed Swan Lake and several other lakes until we arrived at the Big Larch forest service campground. It is on the shore of Seeley Lake with a nice sandy beach where we took a cool swim after dinner.
