These two were stalking me when I was working in the yard. They were nosing around my burn pile so I walked back to see what they were doing. I got within 5 feet or so before they moved. When I walked back to the house they followed me and I’m not sure why.

Just dropped off my oldest daughter at the trailhead near Chief Mountain in Glacier NP…she’s hiking 1200 miles back to the Olympic coast…
That’s incredible that she will be doing that!
Sadly, I haven’t been there since moving to Montana. We tried a couple of times but of course things came up.

The reserve pilot chute spring has been compressed since 1996 and still flew about 6 feet when deployed. Once again proving that springs do not wear out from being compressed, they wear out from being cycled.
