that were deep in the snow and when I went to open my door, it about blew off. Fortunately I was rescued by another family in a car behind me and we all went back to E Glacier to wait for the snow plow. The snow plow pulled the Pinto out and I followed it the rest of the way to Browning.)
in a pasture so that was pretty neat. Believe it or not, the Blackfeet Trading Center had what Wendy needed plus it was kind of a cool store. We then headed back to E Glacier and got to enjoy my favorite part of this drive, the Rocky Mountains rising above you in all their glory as you drive from the plains 
. Also, they are replacing the 761 ft-long 150 ft-high 1941 bridge over Two Medicine River with a new bridge right next to it (The bridge design, a "segmental cast-in-place box girder," is the first of its kind to be built in Montana, but "in Europe it's been used extensively,").
and decided we should head out to the Cut Bank TH. Since the weather had improved with the sunshine and broken clouds, this sounded like a great plan to me; especially since I had driven by that area too many times to count and had always wondered what was down there. On the way, we stopped at an overlook to watch the water spilling over the Two Medicine Dam that Wendy had spotted on our drive to E Glacier. We were driving again and about 5 minutes later I realized we weren't on the Kiowa Loop (MT Hiwy 49) 
but were headed to Two Medicine so we turned around and got back on the loop.
; something about yes the TH was ahead and try the trail to Atlantic Creek. We parked by the TH and went down to the primitive campground hoping to use the one facility but it was busy so we just took a short walk down to check out the creek.
but it didn't stop us 
. The trail starts off thru a meadow for the first part and in a few minutes you come to a fork that takes you down to the Creek (North Fork of Cut Bank Creek which seemed more like a river) to where the old Chalet 
. This trail is a connector 'til about the 4 mile mark where you are given a couple different choices. We only hiked in about 1.5 miles before turning around as it was getting late and we still had more on our agenda.
