Everywhere you look, life is an adventure.
A recent Sunday afternoon found David, the girls, and I sitting in the truck – in the rain – on Big Mountain. Reluctantly, I waited for the rain to stop with the prospect of hiking the Danny On. When the rain stopped, I put on my pack and followed everyone up the sloppy trail.We were […]
While plowing progresses on the upper reaches of The Going to the Sun Road, vehicular traffic is stopped at Avalanche. This leaves the road to hikers, bikers and bears!” This having been my first bike ride on the Going to the Sun Road, I wasn’t sure what to expect as the road can be deceptively […]
Aren’t these the cutest baby moose you’ve ever seen? Baby moose in my daughter’s backyard. You may disagree with me if you want to, but I don’t typically think that baby moose are the most appealing little critters – but these sweeties sure got my attention. Their faces are so adorable. Even David mentioned how […]
Kayaker battles the rapids. Bigfork was bustling last Sunday as people strolled up and down Electric Avenue for the annual Whitewater Festival. Along with dozens of other spectators, we were there for the down river race called the “Wild Mile”. After hiking down the nature trail that parallels the Swan River, we spotted a muddy […]
For the 7th spring in a row, the National Bison Range wowed us with its wildlife and scenery. The drive south on Hwy. 93 along Flathead Lake was stunning. The weather was perfect and we stopped to find a few geocaches along the route. The caches were fun and unique and aren’t likely to fade from […]
Mallory standing on an outcropping on the Scenic Point Trail in Glacier National Park. What a difference a day makes! The temperature is heating up in NW Montana and snow is melting in the mountains. Just like the bears, folks have come out of hibernation and warm weather activity has begun. Soon David, the girls, […]
Day 1. With new tackle, new fishing licenses, and a container of night-crawlers in hand we were off to catch dinner. The new Pine Grove Fishing Pond was in a lovely setting and very impressive. But the skies were cloudy and it was darn cold for April 30th. Besides fishing, we watched. Marlene We watched other people catch big fish. Finally we […]
You remember Curious George. He lived with his friend, the man with the yellow hat. He was a good little monkey and always very curious. One morning the man with the yellow hat had a surprise for George. It was a bicycle! George was delighted. The man with the yellow hat […]
My April 1st post about UFO Sightings in and around Kalispell started me thinking about our road trip in the fall of 1999 to Roswell, New Mexico and Rachel, Nevada. M and E were toddlers and David and I traveled as much as we could at that time. We were seriously looking to move out west and traveling […]
Went hiking and geocaching over the weekend. Instead of using our snowshoes this time, we walked the snowy trail without them. We stayed on the main trail which was fairly well packed by previous hikers, (such as ourselves), and cross country skiers. Snowshoes would have come in handy in a few spots, but we did just fine without them. People were […]
