Yeah the borders guards at that station weren't that friendly at all.  You'd 
think they'd know a little better beacause the CDT alternate, or is the 
official trail, comes out right near there.  I don't think they leave their shack 
all to often to investigate.  One of us tried to walk back down to ask a 
question and were told emphatically not to approach.  I wanted to flip them the bird!

That's not the best place to get a ride, too much melodrama!  But the $45 
shuttle back to East Galcier wasn't all too appealing at that point when funds 
were low.
