My hubby talks a lot about climate change and weather extremes. They are still skiing in parts of the West this July. I have mixed feelings about that old expression, "May you live in interesting times." I remember when Carl Sagan used to talk about climate change happening so gradually we wouldn't notice. I wonder what he would say today.R.

I live in Glacier and have just started hiking and am having trouble finding hiking buddies. My first two hikes here this month were HorseShoe Bend and Goat Mountain (2,500 elevation gain) but my hiking partner only comes to her vacation home in Mount Baker Rim now and then. I hope to hook up with Rose Lavoie and the hikers in Outdoor Adventures Plus, but I will be joining the Trailblazers. I am so eager to hike that it will be worth the drive into Bellingham!

Anyway, the snow bridge looks like a real thrill when you cross over it. I hope it's not slippery, be careful next time you hike on snowy grounds.

Just one look at that snow bridge has me running to get my book and settle in a comfy chair! I looked at the views from last year's hike - I can't believe it's a year ago already? and it does all look like a very interesting hike. You have it all on a good day don't you: trees, sky, snow, grass, rocks - oh and the amazing umbrella.
