The trip up to Glacier was amazing. We only had 2 and a half hours of free time. But, me and a bout ten others took up Professor Ed's challenge to complete a 6 mile trek to Hidden Lake and go swimming. None of us had bathing suits but the reward, not to mention the stress relief, if you can believe it, of swimming in 40 degree water, was well worth it, a nice cold ginger ale.
The wild life up there is crazy. We saw a wolverine and a plethora of mountain goats and marmots.
Glacier's natural majesty is by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
What little geology we did was quite amazing as well. I took a piece of float rock from a 1.2 billion year old mudstone that has RAIN DROP imprints on it. How cool is that, evidence of rain from before any animals besides cyanobacteria existed.
This is my last night of freedom before the last major project starts. So, instead of sitting on the computer I am going to go play ping pong and volleyball.
Maybe, more tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well!
Ps. Frannie I saw you posted on Facebook. Don't lose hope on Geology because of the blog. All the struggling and complaining I have done on here are WELL worth it.
