Oh, wow. Injuries in the wilderness are scary, especially one as serious as yours. I'm glad your girlfriend was able to find help. How long did you have to wait for her to return? Hopefully you were able to continue enjoying the park after this unfortunate accident... I will never trust deer after this story. Thanks for sharing. Lucky I have nothing but good memories from my time in the park. I saw my first moose and grizzly there, but kept my distance.
I completely agree. Why should OP go? This place is beautiful! Glacier has plenty of unique and interesting human and natural history. Glacier has pretty much all of its original plant and animal species. There are grizzly bear, black bear, moose, mountain goat, wolverine, lynx, and plenty of other wildlife. It borders Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada (get your passport). These two parks together were designed as the first international peace park. Most of all, due to climate change the largest glaciers are expected to be gone by 2030.
I don't play an instrument, but I love listening to music and you just made your way into the rotation. Great stuff! Sorry I don't have much else to say beyond a few words of encouragement. Keep up the good work!
Island biogeography is a fascinating field of study! It is incredible that terrestrial species have this kind of dispersal capability. Thanks for posting this. Those barnacles look very uncomfortable.
This is an interesting question. I would not say my favorite albums have had a lot of influence in my life. I just like how they sound and the way I feel while I listen to the music. I love listening to them, but do not think about them much when I am not actually listening to them. The single album that has had the most influence in my life is Trevor Hall. I am not religious at all. I often struggle to understand why people are religious. There is something about this album that allows me to better comprehend the perspective of people that are religious. This album changed my life by making me a little less judgmental and a lot more tolerant of something I did not understand.
