Smoky Glacier

Jolie and I spent a weekend in Glacier park to kayak, hike and see her friend Theresa from St. Croix. Unfortunately it was smoky but we still got to kayak Lake Mcdonald, and do a hike to this lake (Upper Quartz Lake), Huckleberry Lookout. We picked over a quart of huckleberries on the hike up to Huckleberry Lookout.

No, its not the start of the apocalypse. This is a view from our camp of a large fire that started while we were out hiking. Fortunately, the fire was far enough away that our campground wasn't evacuated but several others closer to the fire were evacuated

We did see our first backpacking kitty. This guy walked down the beach in front of us with tent and all on his back, and followed by Louie the backpacking kitty - they set up camp a couple hundred yards from us and this Siamese cat followed him and meowed the whole way!  Does anyone remember Toonces the driving cat from Saturday Night Live ?? :)
