Montana

By
We traveled to Great Falls, Montana for the wedding of Linda and Daniel Nutt. The wedding was fantastic and everything went off with a hitch. ☺️ We enjoyed meeting Linda's large extended family and were so happy to meet such wonderful people.

We jumped around Great Falls and took in the sights with Rob and Reb. R & R drove all the way from Seattle Washington to see the wedding.

One of the five falls that Lewis and Clark had to go around during their expedition. They pulled their long canoes around the falls. They thought it would take half a day, but it took 18 days to move all the canoes and provisions around the falls.

It has been a hazy overcast for the last few days as the wildfires in Canada has been blowing the smoke down into Montana.
We took off to see some sights and ended up at The Lewis and Clark Museum. 

The Lewis and Clark Museum was fun, but my wife is a lot more fun. We rented a Jeep Wrangler so that we don't get stuck in the snow and the temperature has been in the 80s. The entire trip. Plan to fail or fail to plan.

Spent an evening at the legendary Sip and Dip Tiki Lounge. Real mermaids and a fantastic atmosphere. 

A few photos of our time at Glacier National Park. We experienced the East and the West side of GNP.

We did a casual float down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. 
The melting snow made for a fast current and a shorter trip than usual. 


Our rental for the week. We did not need the 4X4 option.

Blowing My Mind

By
Items that I have collected,  in no particular order,  that  BLOW MY MIND. I have been collecting and writing down information that blows my mind. Here is a list, in no particular order, of information that I have picked up shortly after I was born in 1958. It is crazy how much information that has changed or is changing as I grow older. The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen  2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat. The stars start to fail and explode which created carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen cooked and then exploded. E=MC² shows that Energy and Mass are interchangeable which is how energy turned into elements or mass. The earth is 4.543 billion years old. Life on ea...

Mid-Atlantic Backroad Discovery Route MABDR

By
The BDR is a motorcycle route that goes from Damascus Virginia to the New York State border. Some of the travel is on two laneroads, while other is on Forest Service gravel roads. I started in Damascus which is a great little town the Appalachian trail goes through. You can see my bike on the right.  the Appalachian trail and the Mid-Atlantic BDR slowly meander back and forth through the country. I've met a couple guys that were hiking all the way non-stop.  This is a well photographed gap that is fun to go through.  Sceenic overlook that I turned around for.  This was taken off a dirt road. I stopped and took this photo and then a hiker appeared out of nowhere. She scared me pretty good.  First night camping. Hard to sleep when you don't have your favorite body pillow and covers.

Mount Rainier July 28, 2024

By
 Mount Rainier is an active volcano located in Washington. Wildflower meadows circle the icy volcano in July and August while ancient forests cover the lower slopes. We walked up the section that is called Paradise which is famous for its gorgeous views and wildflowers.  While we were in Paradise in July, the area is known for its winter activities. You will find people snowshoeing, cross country skiing and sledding.  We flew into Seattle and met Rob and Rebecca then headed on a drive to Mt. Rainier.  We did see the top of Rainier, but its low cloud cover was typical for the day. Rob, Rebecca (R2), Tam and Bob The walk was up hill for a while and this old guy was hurting the next day.  I have no information about the cabin located in the bottom of the beautiful valley.  The flowers looked like they were professionally grown.  The waterfalls were scattered all through the walk. So pretty and full of life.  We even saw some wildlife.
