Glacier Two Medicine

Spent a 4 day weekend up in Glacier within the Two Medicine Valley. Man that place is awesome. It was a nice break from the stresses of work to relax, take in all the senses of this amazing place. No wonder the Blackfeet consider this place to be good medicine. Devun and I did some hiking, a little fishing, and lots of Huckleberry pickin, since the berries where just starting to ripe. Saw lots of bears this trip too, starting with me almost taking out a griz cub driving into the park. Skidded and scared both me and the cub. We also saw a pair of black bears above our camp in an avalanche shoot foraging and then on our way home had a huge black bear and two cubs cross the road just outside of Big Fork along the Flathead River. I know these are the trips I hope Devun will appreciate as he gets older to recognize the great wonders of our planet and the need to preserve them.

Ripe for the Pickin'

Casting on Upper Two Medicine, check out the head turn on the back cast, I feel it is just as important to watch your back cast as it is to watch your forward cast. It's not hard just turn your head.

Nice bow I picked off in addition to a nice brookie of the same size I got before him. Devun was not ready with camera on the brookie. It was cool though, I watched this rainbow come charging at my spent spruce moth after I gave it a little twitch on the water. The twitch triggered the take.
