Day 6 August 10th: Lake Mary Boat Ride, Johnson’s Café at the campground






















The captured audience forced us to have the buffet at Many Glacier for breakfast, and it filled us up but not with any enthusiasm. We took a leisurely drive down to Lake Mary for the boat tour. You get to see Sexton Glacier, Wild Goose Island, waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and ancient forests. An optional unguided 15 minute walk to Baring Falls The surprise of the trip followed. The night before we had asked Red Bus driver Keith about dining choice, between the Babb Bar Cattle Baron Supper Club and Johnson’s café. We chose the latter, and we we grateful.







Baring Falls




The decor is basic Montana Roadside Cafe. Great directions to the Outhouse “8 paces east, Look North.” We were even luckier eating on a Sunday for their Fried Chicken Family Style dinner. It started off with a beef soup to die for. Maybe even to kill for. Then they brought the slaw. We couldn't quite figure out what the killer ingredient is and in asking, it is made with honey instead of sugar. The fried chicken was almost as good as the best chicken I have ever had at Willie Mae's Scotch House in New Orleans. Pan fried and seasoned in heaven. It was the best meal we had on the trip, and one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. I probably will never return to Glacier, but if I do, I know where I am going for supper.
