Barely Church or Bearly Church?

  • Yesterday. Walking around Whitefish. 
  • Slightly different angle. 
  • The “we were here” photo.

Remember the couple that gave up on their lifetime promises to each other? Neither does anyone else.

St Mary Valley on the East side.
  • Right, Fusillade Mountain. St Mary Lake. 
  • Blackfeet honoring their past and hope for their future. 
Glacier National Park.

In the absence of the printing press, Native Americans (and all world-wide tribes of humanity) use stories, symbols, icons, rituals, and, Nature to create their unique brand of “Church”. 

How about a hand for Nature!

Bravo!

Thousands of cars, three people

Reaching Piegan Pass. We are the only ones there.

Two and a half hours of casual pace got us to Piegan Pass. We budget 30-minutes per mile for any and every trail. 

It is glorious to hike alone in a vast wilderness. Scary at times too. But mostly glorious. 

Being so deep in the wilderness is an exceptionally vibrant opportunity. Every civilized convenience disappears. For brief moments you get a sense for how far humans have progressed from our primitive origins. 

PBJ never tastes as good as after hiking uphill for five continuous miles into the center of millions of acres of Grizzly Bear habitat. Can you imagine handing a PBJ sandwich to a Neanderthal?

Nature’s Church

Transitioning from Two Medicine to St Mary Valley, heading north. 
  • September 23, 2021.
  • Flattop Mountain. 
  • Looking through 2003 forest fire area. 

How do you see what we saw yesterday and not feel inspired by nature’s creations?

In solitude, self-reflection is magnified.

Bears gotta eat

Bear near trail and hikers
Random photo from yesterday’s drive. 

The Park Ranger (above photo) led hikers past the Grizzly. Glacier’s most popular trail had come to a halt. No one was comfortable simply hiking past a Grizzly. 

But the Ranger apparently was. The Grizzly did a bluff-charge body fake. Stopped everyone in their tracks. i then had to drive our car from a stopped position and missed what happened next.
