RAINY DAY AT GLACIER

St. Mary's at Glacier - Heavy T-Storm, damaging winds, large hail and possible tornado - H70 Low 46

I was sitting at my computer which faces the front window and noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye.  Running at full speed from behind the bathrooms was a fox.  He ran toward us, stopped and posed long enough for us to grab the camera and snap a few pictures.  I get so excited when something like that happens.

Welcome

He's soaked from the rain - is it a red fox?

The weather didn't stop us from taking an afternoon drive along Going-to-the-Sun Road to Logan Pass.  Unfortunately, due to heavy fog and rain it was virtually impossible to see the tops of the mountains.  We stopped at St. Mary's Visitor Center and got our passport stamped.  We watched two movies.  One was about the renovations and millions of dollars being spent on the Going-to-the-Sun Road and what a vast undertaking it is.  The other movie was about how the glaciers, lakes and mountains were formed in this area.  Scientists believe that by the year 2030 all the glaciers will have melted.  At one time these glaciers were 5,000 feet thick.

This was pretty with the water running beneath the ice

This was our view of fog and rain through the windshield

I watched this mini-avalanche

Even in the rain, the Beargrass was very pretty

I'm feeling much better today although it doesn't take much to fill my tummy.  Tonight I'm making my first attempt at German red cabbage.  Denis just said, "what is that smell? it smells like that stuff you put on ham".  I said "does it smell good?" and he replies "I don't know, it smells strong".  Well, I like the smell of cloves, butter, apples, cider vinegar, sugar and red cabbage.... hope it tastes good.  

That's all folks - thanks for stopping in
