Glacier Car Thread

Andy · August 5, 2007

Hi Shootout Attendees!

This thread is very simple.. We need to get a count of all the vehicles and who is in said vehicles for this trip. So, please respond here with the following info:

1. Are you driving a car? If so, what car, how many does it hold, and who already is assigned in your vehicle?

2. Are you riding in a car and you know already whose car you are in? Tell me.

3. Are you "without" any transportation to / from the park already? Tell me.

No side chatter here please

Just the facts ma'am :bow

Please do not PM me or David on this - post here in thread.

I need to know how many seats in your car for "at the park" are available for carpooling while at the park.

GREAPER · August 5, 2007

We will be in Cadillac Seville that seats 4 if all of their gear is in the trunk.

Terrence · August 5, 2007

I am driving (renting in Kalispell). I have zero passengers at this point. If I get 3 passengers to split cost, I will rent a full-size car. Else, I will rent economy size and can take 2 passengers. I'm happy to provide inside the park transport as well.

PM me if you need someone to help organize/arrange/match. I'm happy to help.

Looking for cotravelers
I'm flying Delta from LAX 6am Tue Sep 25 and arriving to Kalispel hopefully 11:41am (with brief one stop over Salt Lake city). I figure I'd be reunited with my luggage by noon ready to go.
If anybody gonna be there at the time with a room in the car, I'd gladly share the rent. :-)
I'm leaving Kalispel Sun Sep 30 5:10 pm, so if anybody's leaving the Lodge around noonish - 1pm, I'd hitch the ride and pay my share :-)
If nobody takes me any time soon (say by mid-August), I'll rent something myself and will offer a ride from and to the airport with the designated time frames.
Please PM/email if interested.
EDIT: Schmooo kindly offered me a ride, so I guess I'm covered :-)

Bendr · August 5, 2007

I will be driving a 4 dr Geo Metro in from Colfax, CA. At this point I have room on the way there if someone wants to carpool.

As for in park, assuming everything is in the trunk I have room for 3 more people.

We have a car rented for the week, but won't be arriving in Kalispell until 1PM on the 25th. Technically we will have room for 2-3 more, although fitting that much gear may be tricky, depending on trunk space. If anyone is arriving that late they're welcome to ride with us as well as around the park.

ETA: Also our flight departs on Sunday Sept 30 at 1:50 PM so I am guestimating that we will depart St Mary's no later than 12 noon. Anyone leaving that early is welcome to ride back with us.

devbobo · August 5, 2007

Greenpea, his friend and I are catching the AmTrak into East Glacier Park and renting a car there. As a result, we will be returning the car there on Sunday 30th...and need to organise a ride from there to Kalispell ?

Anyone ?

pathfinder · August 5, 2007

Nightingale and I will be driving to Glacier - not sure what vehicle as I don't know what fuel will cost this fall.

We will be able to carry an extra passenger if needed.

Ann McRae · August 5, 2007

1. I am driving a 7 passenger Nissan Quest
2. I am already transporting preshootout attendees Skippy, Phyxius and Gluwater.
We will drive into St. Mary from the north, probably aroud noon on the 25th.
Once we arrive, unpack and settle, take our luggage out, we will have comfortable room for two and squished room for three.

...and the car that devbobo my buddy and I have supposedly will seat 5.

davev · August 6, 2007

Kate and I will be driving a Barney moble. (aka a Barney colored Dodge mini van)
This van has no 3rd seat, so it will hold 4.

We will be arriving at the park from the south, (from Yellowstone) at no specific time, and leaving to the east (heading for Mn) at no specific time.

While at the park, 2 others could ride along.

Getting to and from the park, sorry folks, you're on your own.

Dixie · August 6, 2007

I will be driving from Seattle leaving around the 19th or 20th and working my way to Glacier to arrive on the 25th.

I have a Ford F250 Crew Cab (seats 5 total - 4 working photographers comfortably) with a lockable cover for the truckbed. Foam backed carpet to protect gear in the bed.

No one riding with me so far.

DougNorCal · August 6, 2007

Renting in Kalispell 24-Sep, return 30-Sep

Chris Pedersen and I will fly from SJC through SEA to Kalispell on 24-Sep and arrive around 2:35.

We will rent a "standard-size SUV -- Jeep Grand Cherokee (or similar)" according to Thrifty.

We will spend the night at Apgar Village Lodge and then drive to St Mary's on the 25th to meet up with the rest of the group.

I'm sure whatever we get from Thrifty will hold 4 adults with gear quite easily and we're happy to have the company if any are interested.

We return for our flight out of Kalispell at noon on 30-Sep, so I figure we'll need to leave St Mary's no later than 9am.

David_S85 · August 6, 2007

Rental car (make/model and # seats unknown) from car rental company (anything but Enterprise) will take me on a 3-day journey from Somewhere Near Chicago to Glacier. I am really hoping gas prices continue to drop. Route and stops unknown at present.

lynnesite · August 6, 2007

Tori Thompson and I are driving up from SoCal in her Nissan extended cab truck. Once we have our non-shooting luggage out of it, there might be room while at the park for one or two, but the gear has to go somewhere (safe) if we're hiking.

ETA it's their "full-sized" truck, not a mini.

Scott_Quier · August 6, 2007

I'm flying into Kalispell on 24 Sep and will be renting something there, staying the night in a motel, and then driving to St Mary the morning of 25 Sep. I'm room with cwphotos. The size of the car will be determined by other's interest of other prospective riders both from Kaispell and from those in the park during the shoot.

Shizam · August 6, 2007

Beth, Teresa and I are renting a smallish SUV but we're getting in 4 days early and futzing around so I don't think we should plan to bring anybody else into Glacier. On the way out I think we're taking April and we'll be full.

My buddy = Mike Iem, so he's taken care of.

Fred W · August 6, 2007

My schedule for arriving in Kalispell is still flexible. I will either fly in on the 25th or maybe a few days earlier so I can scout around. I will be heading home via Kalispell on the morning of the 30th. In the next couple of days I will be booking my flights. I plan on renting a car and currently have no passengers. Anyone interested in sharing car rental let me know. I just need to return to the airport early on Sunday morning.

aktse · August 8, 2007

I just bought my plane ticket.

1) I don't have a car for this trip.
2) I have a ride back to the airport at the end of the trip on the 30th with Sizam+Beth+Teresa
3) I need a ride from Kalispell to the lodge on the 25th.

details:
-- coming at 3:35 pm on the 25th to Kalispell from SJC
-- leaving at 4:10 pm on the 30th to SJC from Kalispell with Sizam+Beth+Teresa

Is anyone coming in around the same time?

I am driving in from Seattle and will be passing through Kalispell the afternoon of the 25th. I don't mind swinging by the airport to pick you up and give you a ride to the St Mary Lodge. This applies to anyone else arriving at Kalispell early to mid-afternoon on the 25th without transportation to St Mary. I would like to head out to St Mary no later than 4-4:30 pm if at all possible. I can accommodate up to 4 passengers with luggage and gear.

Need a ride from the airport
Arriving Kalispell airport @ 3:10pm on the 24th. I need a ride to the lodge/park. If this doesn't fit any one else's plans, I will either rent a car or lasso a moose

Looks like Cavig could use a ride

For those planning on staying in Kalispell Sep 24th night, what hotels are you looking at?

Looking at the Super 8, by the airport (1341 1st Ave E), $58.50 - $ 65 for a queen sized bed. Also, the Outlaw Hotel (has a nice ring don't it?) 1701 Hwy 93S, queen room for $63 a night.

I don't know - cwphotos has arranged a room for the two of us to share.

Scott_Quier · August 22, 2007

I am arriving Kalispell late 24 Sep. I have rented a car (Ford Taurus - or similar). I figure there's room for me + 3 + gear. cwphotos has one spot for the trip to St Mary early 25 Sep. Any other takers?

Scott,
I could use a ride on the morning of the 25th. I will be staying at one of the 2 places, in my post above. I will firm this up in the next day or two. If you could pick me up on the way to the park, I would appreciate it

I will be the dumpy old dude with the red Smugmug hat standing by the side of the highway
