Kalispell,Montana

[T120]

Drove down to Kalispell,Montana in the old Dodge.Spent a couple of days there.On Saturday, Big Sky Mopars hosted an all Mopar show in the Lions Park on Hwy 93.I checked that out.They had a good turnout,about 60 cars or so.The sixties and seventies were well represented,lots of muscle.Some rods and a mix including American motors AMX and Javelin models were at the show. Nothing much in older stock Mopar (older than 1955).Here's a couple of photos of the show...Also drove the old Dodge over the "Going To The Sun Road" route through Glacier National Park on the way home..Through Logan Pass the elev. is 6,446'.A scenic drive,(seasonal route), not to be missed if in the area.Also included a couple of photos of the drive home.

My wife's relatives have a place in Columbia Falls, Montana. Have done that drive a couple of times in our family units. It is a great view, a little nerve wracking for me a couple of times, but well worth it.

Ralph, great pictures. Glad to see you got the D25 out for some miles and your car looks great by the way. Glad the old Dodge did you proud. I did the Logan/"Going to the Sun" both ways on the way to Kalispell earlier in the year in my '63 Ford:eek: Fairlane. That really is a spectacular drive! I highly recommend it for anyone planning on going to that part of Montana. Incidentally, as a bit of trivia, I learned this year that Montana is the second largest state in the contiguous 48.

- Old Idaho, Thanks for the compliment on the old Dodge ,it photographs well..up close it is starting to show it's age

- Neil, Nice to have relatives to visit in the area,certainly a beautiful part of North America.Last time I drove over the "Going To The Sun Road" was probably close to 20 years ago,had my wife with me...The road made her a bit nervous and since then we take another route when headed to Kalispell,as I was by myself I chose the more scenic route.

- Robert, The old Dodge handled the drive just fine,started to heat up a bit approaching Logan Pass, (I guess the height at that point is 6,646').The traffic was backed up and almost at a stall with people taking photos.I didn't stop at the summit as the parking lot was full.On the way down on the east side,there was less traffic.Had a good time and put a few more miles on the car.
