Next stop Glacier NP but the journey is part of the fun.  Just out of Nakusp we spot a huge raft of logs on Arrow Lake.  Looks like that is how they bring timber from the west side, they float it across.  That time-proven lumbering practice is alive and well here.   We motor on heading for one of the great rural Canada travel phenomena, the car ferry.   Highways just end at one side of a lake or river and resume on the far side one short boat ride away.  Before long we add to the que on the approach road; motorhomes, lumber trucks (they don’t float it all across it seems), motorcycles, a horse trailer, and the usual cars and trucks.  We have time to kill so I head for the bank to watch the ferry come in from the far side of the lake.  It is huge (later I see a placard indicating 1,500 tons max gross weight).  Loading begins, trucks and motorhomes to the center and cars and pickups on the outside lanes.  We look tiny next to a full load of cedar logs!   It is smooth sailing so we get out to snap a few pictures and in just 20 minutes we are back on the highway.  Even with a bunch of construction on Canada 1 we make it to Glacier NP and Illecillewaet Campground before noon where Kent finds a great site right on the Illecillewaet River.  Sweet.  I check out the afternoon program all about early female mountain climbers.  It is a great story as the women not only took on the challenges of the mountains but also the men of their time.   Afterall, mountain climbing isn’t very lady-like and certainly can’t be done right in a skirt.
