OK - catching up on Glacier!!

Oh, in my last post, I said that Kim and Rick and Rosa and Henry live in Waukasha, Minnesota. Actually, they live in Eagle, Minnesota.

Now I'll try to get caught up on our days in Glacier National Park. Remember that Poppa wants to spend 6 weeks there?

On Wednesday, June 20, the weather was still iffy, so we hung out near West Glacier.

The Fish Creek Campground, Loop D, may be the absolutely NICEST place to camp in the park! Primitive camping, but excellent scenery of Lake McDonald:




We visited the Apgar Village and saw this sign:





Wives wanted? The little guy looks almost as nervous as the cat.

On Thursday, we had sun, sun, sun!!! We drove west on the Going To The Sun Road - Poppa said "I drove this road in the fog on Tuesday?" Nana sat in the back seat behind Poppa so she wouldn't have to look down the steep cliffs.

The scenery was beautiful:






Logan Pass - we didn't even see this when we drove through in the fog on Tuesday:



When we got to Logan Pass, I found a ground squirrel taking a nap. It looked so cozy that I took one too!

















Poppa's friends from Florida had told him about a nice little stroll to Iceberg Lake, so Poppa decided to try it.



We got to the start of the trail and found this sign:



OK, OK, Poppa made me write this sign. But, really, the trail was still snow-covered and the lake was still frozen. We decided to take a different trail to Red Rock Lake:




And we found the answer to the old question "Does a bear poop in the woods?" No, he poops on the trail! And we started to keep close to people who were carrying Bear Pepper Spray!



The night before we left Glacier, Nana and I were relaxing in front of the campfire (our first), when we had some visitors:




From left to right, with apologies if I'm wrong, Zaya from Mongolia, Keryn from China, and Shannon from China. Zaya is in her third summer of working for the KOA where we were staying. Keryn and Shannon had just arrived for their first summer. Zaya is the de facto "mother" of the group. Nana and I had a great time talking to them about their experience of being in the US.

I hope they had a great summer at Glacier! We have email addresses, so we might find out.

There are just too many things to say about Glacier - I hope I've touched on the highlights for you. You have to be there to understand.
