Manny Glacier

We had a leisurely breakfast of bacon/egg sandwiches this morning and then took off for Manny Glacier.  Darn the bad luck but we had to drive The Highway To The Sun again.  The water in the lake was still just as blue as it was yesterday.  When Billy stepped over a rock wall yesterday to get a better photograph a Park Ranger approached and scolded him.  After the scolding Billy asked him where to find the most critters.  He suggested Manny Glacier because the bear were fattening up for the winter there.  We were in luck.  We were able to see a Mommy Grizzly with her two cubs only about 50 yards away.  If you look carefully, you can see one cub.  It's not the best photo in the world, but she turned and started to walk toward us and a nearby Park Ranger was getting excited.  Yes, we had our bear spray, and we were a close jog to the truck.  Again, I saw so many beautiful wildflowers.  It just seems that the most prolific flowers are in spots I can't access to photograph.  I was able to find a jewel of a spot that had wild huckleberries.  I admit to eating a few, but I left plenty for the bears.  We stopped at Two Sisters outside of Babb, MT for lunch.  It had a lot of personality as well as homemade soups and pies.  Children, please take note of the sign on the roof of the restaurant.  They also had the can of bear spray that Jack Hanna used last month on the Grizzly that charged him.

After the drive back over the Highway to the Sun I cleaned the camper to prepare for breaking camp tomorrow.  We have XM radio in the truck so I won't be missing the opening football game for the UGA Bulldogs.  Sic 'Em Dawgs!  Woof!  Woof!  "Life is Good Today!"
