Glacier National Park Chat

Just a few things about our night at KIN....... They completely took over the food prep area. Then another group showed up in their canoe, started a fire with wet wood and proceeded to smoke us all the way back to our tent. :evil: Lesson learned: KIN is still within range of the general idiot popul...

This year I brought along some "Smartwool"-type socks, a "hiking" shirt (bought at REI), "hiking" underwear, and some nylon Patagonia nylon shorts. I always wear the nylon shorts and a tight bustier...ok kidding. Julie threw in the bustier comment when I said I was post...

This is a trying time. Just keep the faith and know that you have one true friend left. I would be happy to join you for a Miller or Miller Lite anytime as long as you are buying. Sorry Bruce. I'm just poking fun to have some fun. Nothing personal. Actually, i looked up the alcohol content of Mille...

I saw that picture and thought "Microbrew, not Miller Lite, cool."

Great report so far, but the choice of beer is killin' me. I once saw the ice remains of a run and coke walk down to the end of the bar and beat the sh1t out of a Miller Lite. The Mller Lite just wasn't strong enough to defend itself. (A little nod to Tom Waits there.) I realize beer choice is perso...

Ok, some may be looking for a little snow fix now. Since I got a xc ski question from a fellow chatter, I thought about this video I shot last winter. Here's the setup: -Race: Seeley Hills 22km Race -Course: World Famous Birkie Trail -Camera: GoPro HD -Races: Both the 22km and 42 km races start at t...

When we arrived in Glacier, we were waived into our campsite by a couple from WI. When we left, we "gave" the site away (the night before) to Linda and Donn. Linda emailed Julie after the trip about a grizzly encounter (aka a drawer filler): "We just got home 2 weeks ago and are final...

Wow Pete, great story. I hope you still have your Dad's negs. To the original question. The asnwer (for guy) is obviously, "You're absolutely right, dear." Then followed by an appropriate pause, "Does Aug 15th - 25th next year work for you?" For family, I just tell them I'm diggi...

Matt did the work. I just copy and pasted.

Pocket, no problem. I've had some problems with the rangers at MG too. We had a plastic table cloth on our picnic table that was removed and put in a bear box. At least this ranger understood the stupidity of not being able to have a table cloth that you'd clean (and should encourage) as compared to...

Is this the post? I found it next to some paper plates in the front seat of a ranger truck. J Ok. So at some part during my winter planning I got talked into coordinating a climb for GMS. I had initially thought it would be Divide since I had actually climbed that before. I soon found out that anoth...

My draft suddenly changed screens as if I had hit "submit." (Even thought I didn't.) I kind of thought, "Ok, well I guess I was done." The screen came up showing the post, so I figured it went through.
