Kim reading in our hammock. We brought it in the trailer and it feels good. Picture me in the chair beside her on my computer with my legs on the hammock.
Glacier National Park
Beautiful waterfalls at the park
"Heaven's Peak"
Cows on the open range along the road. This was cool.You may notice a few new things in our blog. After some prompting by my good friend Keith Chapman we now have a map of our journeys on a tab at the right. Also, I made it easy for you to click on a comment tab at the bottom of each post to comment.
Traveling is tiring and at the altitudes we've been at lately, we took today off to veg out and just rest. Kim is reading a book by our good friend, Joe Goeglein and I’m working on the blog between naps. Yesterday was a big day in Glacier National Park. We drove the Miata and saw some very beautiful scenery. Once again, the pictures just don’t do it justice. We hiked on the Sun Rift Gorge and Bearing Falls trails. They were pretty but the water levels are down so the falls are somewhat diminished or not flowing at all.
At the campground we are staying at I spoke with a local man last night and he was talking about how people don’t understand the danger of wild animals. He said one guy wanted to get a picture standing by a wild bison and it was lying down, so he went up to it and grabbed it by the horns and shook it. Not a good move as bison can run 35 MPH and we can only run 15. He said another guy walked up to a grizzly bear with his video camera and tripod. Not smart. Yet another guy told his small child to walk over beside a bull moose so he could get his picture with it.
On the brighter side, he said David Letterman has a home out here in Montana and the locals don’t bother him. He said people just don’t care. To show his appreciation, David hired Willie Nelson to play at their county fair and gave away 3500 free tickets.
