    This was something I had always wanted to do. I am now 64 and in bad health. So most likely it's not going to happen. I think I was born in the wrong generation because all the things you do are things I never thought about growing up but now want to do. With that said I would like to send a message to all the young folks out there. Live your life to the fullest because it goes by quickly and in a blink of an eye it's over. Follow your hearts. I do get to enjoy some truck camping still so I have that and love watching you go on your adventures. Be Safe and God Bless.
    P.S. Don't pet the fuzzy cows..lol (Bison)

Also…the bellhop with the flowing blonde locks earned his luggage hauling tips!!! Loved Many Glacier! Glad you played it safe!

    It's really a blessing to see that unbelievable scenery in person I bet it comes back in Kelly's dreams. This trek is her version of Neil Armstrong on the moon and she's the astronaut now. If you had an American semi-longbow and two cedar arrows with Grizzly heads you could BBQ a wild sheep. I hear that they are some of the best eating game meat, along with caribou and elk. Maybe that's too bloody for UA-cam but it's how we all got to

    Of my top ten treks of all my time the first three are my three trips to GNP. And, as is often true, the best way to experience this National Park is to walk it, live and sleep in it, for as long as your other obligations will allow. Yes, you are going to have an amazing, at times breathtaking, hike and we are all looking forward with great anticipation ( no pressure!) the video documentation of your journey.
