Sorry for no recent posts as Internet connections have been very spotty. Not even sure this one will get through, so will be brief. And my Sprint cell connection is nil. In fact, I have my phone turned off. John's AT&T cell was working earlier but not now. But I do seem to get some emails on normfriesen1@gmail.com that don't come through on my regular Cox account.

Stopped in Great Falls, MT the other day. Visited the C.M. Russell Museum....famous western artist of the late 19th and early 20th Century. He is often compared to Remington. Very lovely museum and very interesting work....his and several of his peers.

Then on to Eastern Glacier, staying in St. Mary's. Although I had been in Glacier a few years ago, that way the lower, west end. Very nice, but lots of rain. It didn't really hinder much except for the fact that some views were distorted or probably not visible because of clouds. But the clouds themselves were spectacular as they shrouded the mountains. Further, we have been hindered in the hiking and walking opportunities. Went up to the Waterton/Canadian side of Glacier Park. Nosed around, explored their Waterton Village.....everything up here is geared to fishing, hunting, riding the rapids, etc.

Today we go up to Banff. Can't wait. Oh, oh, just got a message that this effort is failing on the Internet. Hope you get this.
