Adventures With GoatBoy

It was a good summer doing seasonal work at Glacier Park. I waxed and waned on what I learned, what I forgot, and all the mistakes I will make again next summer!

Mitch got a taste of one of the lesser peaks up at Logan Pass.
One that is away from the hoards of the parking lot. And not on the radar of trongs of peakbaggers from social media.

I drive a Red Bus in the summer and a school bus the rest of the year. I have never dreamed of a ‘Snow Day’ at Logan Pass. But the best way to get thru bad weather is …. good people.

Mitch and I take a second bite of the Going to the Sun apple. The season is getting short, and not many more opportunities. But this time, it wasn’t bears eating moths. But the usual nemesis – weather!

Although the peak was not to be had, everything up to the summit was worth the effort. I’m not sure if I should blame the bears or the months, but it clearly takes both for keep me off a summit

Sometimes I have a storyline with no visual media. And people hate looking at just words (called a ‘book’ in some cultures). Sometimes, I have visual media with no storyline. Alas, which is worse?

Anyone who has read anything I’ve written over the last several years knows I have a blood feud with marmots. But on this hike, I was surprised at what I found.

Everyone loves the Red Buses. To really get to know them, you can only do it behind the wheel. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night……
