Again it has been a bit of time since last I wrote. My only excuse is that it becomes difficult to get to this after a while, it becomes something you feel obligated to do no matter how mundane the "drivel" you write.
So, here goes . . . went back to Montana again last weekend with friend Ranger Bob the younger. We did a fast trip up to Missoula to get the new kevlar canoe he had ordered. Even though it was a lot of driving in about 25 hours, it was fun. We came back through the Bitteroot Canyon and stopped at the "Big Hole National Battlefield" Historical monument. It is where the U.S. Cavlary ambushed Chief Joseph's Nez Pierce bands when they were attempting to flee to Canada. It was pretty interesting place, another sorry saga in American History.
Bob Henry & Me, "Big Hole Battlefield"The weeks have sped by and I am again preparing to leave Grand Teton Park next week, probably for the last time as a ranger. Events in the last couple of weeks have made that more a sure thing. I am too outspoken to work for the government. But the last 10 years have been a good run in a wonderful place.
Ron & Brooke at their Lander HouseI am on my last days off for the season. Wednesday, after work I headed down to visit my friends Brooke and Ron in Lander, WY. Ron is the person who introduced me to Wyoming and the Tetons about 18 years ago. Even though we only see each other once a year, we have remained steadfast friends. Real friends are few and far between in a lifetime
Ron & Me @ Sink's Canyon, Lander, WYMovie Reviews: I liked the Coen Brothers new romp, "Read Before Burning," with Clooney, McDormand, Swinton, Pitt, et al. It is a dark comedy with very interesting characters. Again, this is not for everyone. "Traitor" with Don Cheadle was OK, better than most of the oft mentioned sparce quality of the summer.
This is probably my farewell blog from the Tetons. Next one will come from beautiful downtown Flagstaff.
Fall colors in Grand Teton, Mt MoranCheers all!
