Back in Glacier, USA....

Coming around the bend and discovering the beauty of Two Medicine, where we met the world's oldest Junior Ranger, Evelyn, who works for Glacier Park, Inc. When I asked her how she managed to convince the admin. that she should be a Jr. Ranger, she told me she simply asked him if he thought she was old enough to try out! She wears her badge around the gift shop and encourages kids to try out for Jr. Ranger-ship. She's a hoot and a good soul. Everyone at Glacier has a story....
This is a shot from one of the sections of Going-to-the-Sun Rd. that's open. Rumor has it that the rest will open any day now....but the webcams show a pile of snow in the Logan Pass parking lot....

On the return trip from Waterton-Glacier in Canada, we put the yaks in at Many Glacier for a fabulous hour of paddling. Felt like we were in the Alps! Unlike paddling in Ga. or Fl., falling out is not an option. This is seriously cold water!!!!
