It was too cold and potentially rainy to hike the trails in Glacier NP today so we drove through the park looking for wildlife. We were very successful. Many Grizzly Bears, Black Bear, Elk, and Mountain Goats. Here are some of the up close and personal photos.
When we were here 5 years ago, Boots the dog was our personal escort during our stay. Anytime we went for a walk, Boots was there trotting alongside. Boots is a Karelian Bear Dog. They are used for hunting and are trained to bite bears in the butt to keep them away from humans. We bonded 5 years ago and were looking forward to seeing him this week. Unfortunately we only saw him for a few minutes this weekend. He apparently mistook some elderly lady's hand for a "bears butt" and bit her. He has been banned from the park but he managed to make an appearance today.
Tomorrow we are leaving Glacier NP and heading to Banff BC via Waterton NP in Canada so we are drinking up the wine supplies tonight as there is a limit to what you can bring into Canada without paying a fee. Hee Haw!
While in Canada we will dependent on wifi only for communications. We have a Magic Jack phone and the number is 281 984 0192 and it has voicemail.
Ken and Debbie just arrived plus my wine glass is empty. Don't want to violate Canadian laws.
