Hello Everyone,
I am still around....Computer activity in the park isn't up to speed. Seems when a storm goes thru, the system goes down for a few days and that happens quite a bit. I am sitting in the Columbia Falls Library trying to catch up on e mail and my blog.
Spent last week going to Canada. We had a great time and saw some beautiful sights. We started the trip by driving over the Going to the Sun Road, then heading up to Waterton. Took a boat ride on Waterton Lakes then hiked back into the States ( so I could get my Passport stamped at Goat Haunt). Then we headed North. Next day we went to "Smashed in Head Buffalo Jump", What a great museum. After lunch continued our travels to Calgary where we spent the night. Friday we headed to Baniff, what a beautiful area, took some wonderful pictures of Baniff and Lake Louise.
Saturday we attended the Eureka Outdoor Quilt Show, which turned out to be a big hit for my non quilter friends. They were mighty surprised at the wonderful Art show put on by the quilters. Duh.
Well, I am down to just 6 more weeks to go and am starting to look forward to heading home, I do hope the weather cools off in NC, as I am completely spoiled by the weather here.
Enjoy the pictures....

I have a day off, after working 6 straight days.....Been trying to catch up on a few things including working on my blog. What have I been doing----Took a hike thru the burn area of Glacier, went to Two Medicine Lake for a boat ride and hike, and then we went to Browning for the Pow Wow. Never have been to a Pow Wow before, and was surprised to see so many different tribes attending and taking part. This was the North American Tribal Indian Dances, and tribes from all over the Northwestern US and Canada attended and Danced. It was fascinating, and also reminded me of attending a County Fair, and the staging area was were all the Grand Entry Parade and programs were. I also found out what Indian time is all about.......
We had a black bear outside of our cabin 2 days in a row. Was reported and the rangers said they sent him back to the woods. He was checking out our berries and also looking for the old apple tree.
Making plans to head to Canada the first week in August. We are going to Baniff and Lake Louise for a 4 day trip. I'm trying to see all, as I don't know if I will come back to the area again..
Hope you all enjoy the pictures,
Later

Sunday, after work, Jeanne, Nancy and I went to E Glacier to spend the night at the Glacier dorm.
The next day we took a Red Bus, driven by Jammer Joe, to Waterton, Alberta Canada. We had High Tea at the Prince of Wales Hotel. What a beautiful place, as you will see in the photo's. It was an all day ride, coming and going, and we were able to see all the properties in Glacier. Jammer Joe made it very special for the three of us as he made several side trips to show us the sights.
It has been raining here the last few days and the high has been in the 40's. Going out to celebrate payday tonight and eat supper at a real restaurant.
Hope you all enjoy the pictures, more later

Been here almost a month and having a great time..Seen black bear and cub, plenty of Mule deer and been told a mountain lion is in vicinity. We have been exploring the surrounding little towns before the park opens. Going to the Sun Road opens up on June 18th, as they are still plowing away the snow. It has been cool and rainy here at Lake McDonald, and in the higher elevations- snow of course. Sending pictures of latest adventures on some of our outings. Took a boat ride on Lake McDonald with a few friends, and took pictures of Lodge from Lake. The Lake was 38 degrees. Also sending pictures of inside the Lodge and My Gift Shop.
Enjoy

Here I am in Glacier National Park and trying to get settled in my new home. Jody and Jeanne are here and we are all hoping for a great year. It was a long drive and right at this moment I am dreading the drive home-good thing I have 4 months not to think about it. Karen and I had a great trip out and we made some side trips as you will see in the photo's.
Lake McDonald is a beautiful clear lake, and oh, so smooth . I start work on Monday and it looks like we will be doing some overtime as our opening day is May 22. I am living in a condo cabin and I know all of you will be envious when you see the pictures, we are still trying to figure out if we were meant for bunk beds.
Cell phone use is sporadic and internet is nonexistent at this time.
More later.....

Hello from Yellowstone
Finally back, having trouble with computer overloaded in the park. Have to get up at 5 a.m. just to get on the computer, which isn't fun.
I am just now enjoying hiking, as we had our last snow storm June 11, hopefully. So the trails are passable. Yesterday we took a 5 mile hike to the OTO Ranch. It is the first dude ranch in Montana, built in the late 1800 and deserted in the late 1930's. It is on the National Historical Register, and different groups are going in and helping to restore. It is in wonderful shape and what a beautiful hike.
The rivers are running high and what a wonderful sight the waterfalls are this year. Going to try and jam as much hiking in as I can, as I am heading home in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to seeing my family and can't wait to start quilting again.....
Hope you enjoy the pictures, sending quite a few this time around.
