Big Sky Country

Well, Great Falls, Montana has one cool “brewery”, Bert and Ernies, even though they don’t make any beer, they just sell it from all over, mostly Oregon….hehe

Day 6 on the road today. We spent our first night in Couer d’ Alene, Idaho camping at a beautiful spot where bald eagles nested. From there we b-lined north to Canada and just had Banff on our minds. We arrived Saturday night to a rowdy group of college kids, by this I mean now that I’m becoming an old-lady, college is the new high-school. They seem soooo young and ridiculous. We spent two days and two nights doing great hikes and topping it off with sweet camp fires….and bull deer everywhere!
Then we cruised down to Waterton NP and fell in love!! The park was sunny, empty and mountains breath-taking. Canadian folks are seriously so NICE! We camped right on the lake and did some kick-ass hikes that kicked my ass. MJ took on the “best hike in Canada” and tackled Crypt Lake, aka “all Bussiness” while me and my blistered feet boarded the 80 year-old International ship for a cruise through Waterton and Glacier, sweet ride, minus the 100 other senior citizens averaging age 75 . Just kidding. We saw 3 moose!!!!! (did you know that moose babies can swim 2 seconds after they are born? and they can swim for 6 mph for 2 hours without stopping!) soooo cool, and a red cinnamon colored bear. Did you guys know that all along the Canadian/American border, where there is just trees, they chainsaw down a 15-foot wide path between the countries. Just a wide blank gap of nothing….they’ve been doing this since the 30’s and about every 15 years a group of men just walk the whole damn thing with chainsaws in tow. Pretty silly if you ask me.

Alright, enough fun facts for now…….

Peace Out,
B
