We
arrived at Glacier National Park this afternoon. It was so beautiful
as we were coming from the east to see the mountains appear and
exciting to know we were going to be spending four days exploring
some of the places that hold so many stories of the people who lived
here and the history of how these mountains were carved out by the
many glaciers that came from the ice age. We are camping at St.
Mary's Campground right in Glacier N.P. We, at first, were sad to see
so much of the mountain sides showing the devastation of past forest
fires. The fire most noticeable to us as we drove in was from 2008.
After awhile we could look past what the fire had left and see the
beauty of the snow on the mountains and the lake and rivers flowing
through them. As we were driving into our campsite, we were met by a
lady who was trying to take a picture of a ground squirrel just
opposite of our campsite. Her name is Karla, and we have become fast
friends along with her husband Larry. Friends like them are so fun to
get acquainted with and it makes these kind of trips unforgettable.
Safe travels Larry & Karla! We are ready to get exploring
tomorrow.

"With a name like Karla, she has to be great."
ReplyDeleteYes, she really was a blast to meet and hang out with for a couple of days. We felt like we had known each other for years.
