21.2 miles and Gall

Today I went hiking with Gene and Patti in the Jewel Basin. We saw six lakes. Patti and Gene said the route would 16 miles long.  At the beginning I calculated on the map that our route would be 18 miles.  We missed one turnoff and ended up hiking an extra 3 miles in total.  At the end I recalculated our route's distance and the total was 21.2 miles.  No wonder I feel tired now.

In the trail head parking lot was another unusual car window sticker.  It is not just hippies/liberals who hike and put stickers in their car windows.

How Minnesotan's gather firewood

Saturday I went with friends on a hike to Upper Quartz Lake in Glacier Park.  It seems as if I can't visit Glacier Park without seeing someone from Minnesota.  Apparently this MN person took a corner too fast on the Bowman Lake road and went into the ditch.  He came out with this log.
