Friday Afternoon in St. Mary, Montana

Until now, no internet, no newspapers, no cell phone, only glacial lakes, forests, old picturesque national park lodges and a brown bear cub jumping across the road in front of us, rearing up and turning tail back into the bushes. Everyone is afraid of bears this year - late berry season, bears crazy with hunger.Flags are at half mast for the 19 year old park worker who left on a hike by himself and has never come back.

It's all about glaciers in Glacier National Park -- but the glaciers are disappearing fast. 1n 1900 there were 150. Now there are 25.

In South Africa there were 10  sacred animals you were supposed to see. We saw 9 of 10. Since we got here we have seen three of the Nothern Five: bears, glaciers and huckleberry pie. Still looking for mountain goats and shooting stars.
