Drive east to west on GTTSR

We left East Glacier after breakfat at Two Medicine Grille where old local was talking loud to bikers from CA and AZ. A couple at the table next to us and asked about how to get to Banff from Glacier. That led to talking a out things they should do there we recommended the guidedby app, then the people ln the other side of us said they have the app as well and love it. we drove up to the East entrance of the park and did the Beaver Pond hike right by there. There wasn't much to this hike, other than a walk through the woods, but it was kind of neat because we saw a meadow and the beaver pond eventually. It wasn't the most scenic hike in the world, but it was very relaxing and easy. Hit GTTSR about 3:30. Stopped at turnouts where the view caught our eye, including Logan Pass visitor center. We got to Evergreen Motel around 6:15. This motel is made up of several different buildings, each of which had 2 to 4 different rooms in it. There was a useles kid in office checking people in, when the guy in front of me asked about places to eat nearby, the response was there's a bar a little bit down that way and another down the other way as well. He then gave me a very bad directions to our room, which was in a separate section from most of the rooms and not marked on the outside, so there was really no way to know if it was the right room until we walked in the door of this little lobby between the two rooms. It was a very bizarre and poor set up. We had dinner at Josephine's speakeasy, which I wasn't actually a speakeasy just kind of a hip little restaurant. The atmoshpere reminded me of a wine bar, but it was nice. We sat outside, and the food was pretty good, we ended the night by joining everyone else who was seated outside in singing to a woman named Dina who was out for her 85th birthday. Drove back to the motel and called it a night.
