and so much more
I love Glacier National Park. Worked there as a college student in 1985 and 1986. AND recently again in 2021. Talk about coming full circle. This category is dedicated to the place I hold dearest in the world. Enjoy my tales of agony and ecstasy.
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!

Seasonal work means seasonal roommate(s). And let me tell you, they can make or break a summer. Family or not.
Henkel. It’s not a name that rolls off the tongue. But if you have reached the summit, you will always want to return to it for the test of your life. At least for me.
Climbing with my son in Glacier Park—it doesn’t get much better than that—unless he was also Morgan Fairchild.
