Puskas FamilyAlaska Vacation: 7/24/1991

John: We took a leisurely drive up Logan Pass to the west side of Glacier Nat’l Park. There are some very tight and narrow places on the west side of Logan Pass. Very nice scenery and water falls. We saw a deer in a river along the way. The water in the rivers here are so crystal clear! We stopped early at the Apgar Campground (in Glacier N.P.) and got a very private level spot. We took a walk to check out MacDonald Lake and stop at a little grocery store. While walking, I saw a Colorado plate, then I saw the driver for a moment... I said to Karen, “That guy looks like Herbie”... I turned and saw the Colorado Volvo put on it’s brake lights and it whipped around and came back. It was Herbie!!! I couldn’t believe it. He was coming back from visiting his daughter in Seattle. We talked for a little while then headed out. I still can’t believe it. We decided to eat out at a little cafe and go swimming in Lake MacDonald. The water was crystal, crystal, crystal clear with a bit of a nip to it temperature wise. We all (except Karen) swam from 2 to about 5:30. Karen swam for about an hour. You had to just jump in as the water was a little chilly. It was very refreshing. Susan found out the lake was almost 500 feet deep. There are great mountains on the opposite end. The day was very sunny and hot all day, so the cool dip was great... so great, that if it’s nice tomorrow we will stay here and do it again. We’re writing this outside on the picnic table next to our nice small campfire. We drove 45 miles today.

While Susan was lying on the dock, she spotted two monster fish under the dock. They were 18-20 inches long or more! We all saw them.
