Packed up to leave the cabin. The cabin was a great choice. It was rustic (no air conditioning, a little rough around the edges, only 2 bathrooms), but the 10 from our family and 5 from my wife's brother's family fit comfortably and got along very well.
We befriended a scrawny but very cute kitten who apparently lived around the cabin. She was afraid of us at first but we gave her a little bacon and she soon lost all fear of us and befriended us right back. We named her Bacon, and we all bonded with her. She became part of our family for several days. It was so hard to leave her behind. I think most of us were sorely tempted to smuggle her home. One of the maids who came to clean as we were leaving was a cat person. They weren't aware of cats living there, but she seemed to instantly bond with Bacon so we think she will be well cared for.
We stopped by the home of my mother-in-law's brother who lives in Mountain View and met other family members who were heading out. More good-byes.
My wife's brother and his wife decided to drive along with us through Glacier National Park. The drive along the Going to the Sun Road and Logan's Pass was beautiful. We stopped to skip rocks at Lake McDonald, also very beautiful, then drove on to Missoula, MT. That drive was also beautiful. Arrived at the motel about 10pm.
