How can you say that's why we weren't allowed to drive up there? The ranger actually commented that I was only the only person she'd seen put an RV up on 2 wheels. Cheers Carl Hey Dad,

The real reason the ranger said no was because she had seen him driving earlier that day. Just setting the record straight. Cheers Dad Dear Readers,

Hey Pete, I'll do something cool - though I just got thru the 39th one, so I'm not ready to plan anything yet. Probably will be sitting in the shack by the fire, if it's anything like this year. :) I think Glacier is different to Jasper - definitely different enough to make it worth a trip down there. It's probably a little drier, particularly on the east side. I've been doing a lot of writing. I should've been doing my taxes. Also getting permits etc organized, and some trip planning, so I haven''t got out lately. Just when I think I'm good to go, something comes up. Definitely am ready for some outdoors though! Hey Mark, Yeah, that was really a wild thing - not just that we actually we met, but that we learned during conversation that we'd swum together and been in school together. We'd never have recognized each other, so it was only through chatting that we realized we'd gone to school together. I mean, what are the odds of that, eh? I've got 2 more stories like this, I'll share in another post. The thing with me about approaching 40 though is I still look so darn <b>P-H-Y-N-E!!!</b> :) :) :) Get yourself out to Glacier. Cheers Carl Hey Beth,

The road in your pic is definitely inviting me! 40 came and went for me this past Jan - rather anti-climatic if you ask me.

We turned over that 40 leaf back in 2005, no big deal - just do something really big to celebrate (we dayhiked Jasper's Skyline Trail on my 40th b-day). What's making me feel old this afternoon is that Carol & I are marking off our 20th anniversary today - yikes! That just sounds way older than 40 (or 50 for that matter). Glacier sounds pretty cool, but there's only so much one can find time for, eh? Do you find it similar to Jasper & Banff, or does it have an entirely different feel to it (besides the differences in NP policies, if any). Have you been out in the field much lately? Seems like you're getting a lot of internet time in! :) We still have 2.5 feet of snow on our yard at home yet, but things are starting to change now. I'm sure you're in about the same boat. Be fun when the migrating birds start coming through in ernest. Cheers. Carl, shoot … 39 is just a kid!

You don't look 40,anyway! You act like a big,curious kid. Nothing wrong with that!! This " Going to the Sun Rd." is aptly named. Gorgeous photo!! This summer I hope you get to see lots of grizzly bears, in the right manner, of course! Heck, 40 isn’t old,Carl! You don’t look 40,anyway! You act like a big,curious kid. Nothing wrong with that!!

I'm jonesin' for the high country, too - but I suspect it'll be more than 5 weeks before I can get up high. Ya know, I very nearly edited that little piece of the story - I turned 15 in Feb, 1984. I don't know nothing about any big 4-0 .. have no idea what you're talking about. :) Cheers Carl Hey Pete,

Reading about Glacier has me longing for a good backpack trip in Jasper. Only another five weeks until we can walk on some dry ground there ... looking for grizzlies & wolves. Can't wait! Hey ... correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't being 15 in 1983/84 put you on track to turn the big 4-0 this year? :) Hey Carl,
