Glacier is a wonderful place to visit in the summer and fall. Early in the summer some of the park roads are closed by snow so July is a good time to go. The wesite http://www.glacier.national-park.com/info.htm will link you to information about Glacier and how the progress is going for this year on snow removal and road closures. Glacier was made a forest preserve in 1900 and became the 10th national park in 1910. I was encouraged to visit this area because our climate is changing and the glaciers are melting. We saw a lot of wildlife, some of which was in the road in front of our car! There are fantastic lakes in Glacier and on the way there. I love the streams full of rapids, the mountains, and the wonderful smelling pines trees. Here is a picture. Enjoy!


This time of year fills me with hope. Melting snow, warm weather, and the sight of bulbs starting to grow. I would love to go to Holland and see the tulip fields blooming. I see there is a tulip festival in Washington. This year it is March 27th. This year is the 25th anniversary of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. There will be a special celebration this year including a raffle, dessert auction, dinner, and music. Has anyone been to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival? Here is the link to get more information. http://www.tulipfestival.org/
I have been selling real estate in vernal for about 7 months. This weekend I went rock hunting for petrified wood outside Vernal. I was thrilled to find several nice piece. This area used to be tropical about 50 million years ago so it is possible to find petrified coral, palm tree wood, and even sea turtle shells. The area of Vernal is known for the amazing fossilized dinosaurs bones found there as early as 1909. My next venture might be hunting for garnets or plant fossils in the area!
