Glacier National Park Chat

Lets try and not make this a political thread in this section, discussing it is fine, but I don't want to have to move to the Politics of Glacier section.

Thanks.

If you can think of it, June normally has it, Snow, Rain, Sunshine, Wind, cold, Warm, June is normally a toss up month mother nature is going through menopause in June around here most years.. :lol: One of my favorite times of year and this will be my 21st June in the Rockies, but prepare for just a...

oh gosh// i could show you some VERY improper use of bear spray if you want./// i attended one of our Berkeley riots for the purpose of filming these idiots in action// i didn't get hit directly but EVeryone got covered in pepper. Pretty surreal scene when people start unleashing that stuff on crow...

Boy I am glad to see that Deb and I are not the only ones that still play cribbage!

Of course she pretty much whips my butt every single time, it is still fun, been playing since I was about 7 years old and just continued because I didn't know any better!

Bear spray is not a fun toy! :D I have been exposed so many times to it, I actually started building an immunity to it, after working in and out of the factory for 12 years it becomes a daily thing to somehow someway to get sprayed or get it on you. It is not an experience I recommend to anybody, ca...

Thanks for the replies. The international employees sometimes had post season plans to travel in the States. This closure may have complicated those plans! Times have changed. When I worked at Lake McDonald 1970-72 we did not have a single international employee that I can recall. Now there seems t...

The Lodge is closed for the season, that was announced last week on all of the local news stations and in the news papers, so I would imagine most of the employees have left the area or if they need help in other facilities the are helping out there, I know during the past fire seasons the employees...

That was the trapper that burned the loop trail, Deb and I were parked at the loop with some of our families the day that fire blew up and a few years ago I posted pictures of it and made a poster out of it that sold quite well, we got chased down GTTS that day and ended up in West Glacier on the Br...

I'm jealous! Only rained here for 15-20 minutes. Didn't register a thing in the rain gauge.

Geeze you are less than 20 miles from me and we ended up with almost half an inch today...

Hope it is raining in the park, it has been raining here at the house for most of the day!

I am sure they have been contacting people, but just in case, Lake McDonald has been closed for the rest of this season.

After 2003, I had hoped to never see that again...

We are a 100% over here on Sunday than it has been for the last week, light breeze in the mid 70's today and no smoke visible from the house here.

Going to be ugly on the west side the next couple of days, but they are saying it will cool down and move the smoke out by the weekend, we were going out in the boat on Friday, but not now, I am not going to sit in a boat on a lake with no cover over my head chasing fish!

I sure hate to hear when this happens, but unfortunately bad choices often times have fatal endings. Do not go under the road at Haystack, it is not safe and I don't want to read about you having a nice adventure only to hear you didn't make it home. Deb and my thoughts and prayers go out to this fa...
