dismantle the transporter, scotty. there's no intelligent life here... and i'm staying

melissa snapped me looking out the window at the airport terminal when we arrived at "Glacier Park International Airport". firstly, the only thing "international" about this airport is the fact that you could probably throw an empty molson bottle back to canada from the control tower (with a good tailwind, of course). secondly, see all the folks there in the terminal? that's about how many people seemed to be in the entire airport. we flew in on a SkyWest flight on a CRJ200 Delta Connection flight. our plane, full, would have 50 passengers. when we landed, the airport population went to about 55. i felt bad for the luggage guy. he looked to be about 55 and loaded up all the checked baggage from the plane onto the luggage trams. i was thinking, "man, i bet he hates doing this in the winter." so, that's me in the picture there - watching the luggage guy and still not believing that 1) i was in montana 2) the airport was so empty (all 3 gates) and 3) the airport was so super nice. if the rest of the trip ends up being as nice as this airport, we're in for a great time.
