The fun never ends!
... saw them, right?! :)
FYI…We met a family from Lombard, the Fitzgerald’s, at the Jr. Ranger program/hike in Many Glacier yesterday, and again today we ran into them on the Hidden Lake hike! If that’s not kind of strange, then here’s the interesting part, their son married one of the Straz’s daughters.

We also meet some chirping Colombian ground squirrels that we learn later are hibernators and are only seen a few ...
Jamming
... and the drivers could be heard jamming the gears as they drove up and down the rugged mountain highway. Today they have automatic transmissions, but the jammer name stuck. They mostly use propane, but can convert automatically to gas also. We started our trip at the Lodge with 16 other jammers and our driver, Steve.
