Glacier National Park Chat

Sorry to hear you’re leaving Montana. I appreciate all the time ( and $$$$) you have spent educating and entertaining us. I also understand that at our age we need to be around family if possible. The first thing I see when I come into my house is the photo I got from you. Wonderful!! Hope we get to...

Pete, ALways enjoy your pictures and look forward to seeing more.. The photo I got from you is beautiful and reminds me of the wonderful trip I had with my daughter. It is the first thing I see when I walk into the house. Of the who knows how pictures I have snapped in my trips to Glacier, one I lik...

Be careful out there Pete. A friend of mine and I were taking a hike a couple of days ago and she tripped on a thumb sized root and fell really hard on her shoulder. Very sore but no long term injury. "We" are all about the same age and have to be careful. On a positive note, thanks so muc...

Snow at the pass and whitecaps on the lake. Gotta love this place. Hope everyone is safe.

I watched the same video(same poster anyhow) only they rode to the Loop and hiked/ran to Granite Park Chalet first. Then back to Avalanche and road to Logan Pass and climbed Reynolds late afternoon. I just saw the video yesterday. These guys are tougher than cooked owls.

Pete
Your early spring ,fall and winter pics and videos are always fun to see. Gives everyone an opportunity to see the park at a time most will never experience. Thank you.

Driving a red bus one rainy day several years ago and had to stop just east of the tunnel with rocks falling. Scary situation.

Pete,
Nice picture of bluebells. They are one of the first wildflowers to show up here in Illinois, generally mid April. One of my favorites.

Pete, Always enjoy your pictures and appreciate your dedication to this site. The avalanche was amazing and the grizzly looked a bit closer than I would like.

Lyman, I worked 2008,09,and 11 driving a red bus. I imagine 3/4 of the drivers were over 50. Getting a CDL is more difficult than it once was although the company trains CDL drivers. (It is better to get a CDL in your home state.) The traditional college kids (males) who were drivers seem less incli...

GPI sent people to countries just for recruiting. Not sure if it is some type of exchange program. Nice bunch of young people. Practicing speaking English was always important to most and also learning American customs. One young lady from Turkey put salads out for breakfast. Apparently, salads were...

Thanks for the replies. The international employees sometimes had post season plans to travel in the States. This closure may have complicated those plans!

Lake McDonald facility has 220 employees. Where would they house that many employees had the site not been closed? I don't think the other sites have that much unoccupied employee housing.

Pete,Always enjoy your pics and appreciate the time you spend taking them and posting. Not going to make it to Montana this year so depending on you. I am with you on the hatred of ticks. Went to Urgent care yesterday for a prescription after finding two tiny, tiny ( "probably" deer ticks ...

I did meet you in the store last summer. You were wore out. I didn't take offense as I know that feeling. Thanks for posting all the pictures and videos. Hope to cross paths with you again.
