Prior to attending the pastors conference starting tomorrow at Christ
Church, Moscow, David and I have taken two days of study, writing, and
hiking up at Glacier National Park. Yesterday, on the park's east side
in the Many Glacier region, we hiked a little beyond the falls on the
way to Lake Ptarmigan. Here are a couple pics.
At dusk, we arrived at Two Dog Flats and saw fifty to seventy-five elk grazing on the northern slopes. There were a couple bulls, one with at least seven points. And oh how they bugled! No uncertain sound for them; they were intent on their work.
As we drove out of the park, we saw two moose drinking at the river...
On our way back to the motel, we followed Amtrak's Empire Builder for about half an hour, sharing the valley with the train--and therefore, with its diesel fumes. We almost decided to ride the train today--it has to be one of the most spectacular hundred and fifty miles of Amtrak service in the country. But it wasn't to be.
To use one of my son, Taylor's words: Bomdiggety, God's work is beautiful! Man's work is to worship. And what a relief it is.
