I've bicycled past the same kids two days in a row with no money to purchase a lemonade from their stand. Today, the third day in a row, I do not have money. I almost took a detour, so as to not feel guilty passing them up. They weren't out today - they must have Sunday off.

Jacinto has a lengthy story about extreme thirst and no money to buy a Gatorade. It made such an impact on him that he has zipped a little coin purse with a $20. bill inside of his pannier for emergencies.

I need to put some money on my bike right now - a lemonade on the way home would be a tasty treat!

I can't believe all the wildlife sitings on your trip. Amazing!

Cue crying trombone 🤣

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Goat.
Goat who?
Goat to the top of the mountain, and you'll see the most amazing view!

Oooooo... lovely.

Nice light.

It's probably best to miss a shot of a porcupine.

Thanks for the clarification. You’re obviously a guy who knows his marmots! Also, this gives me the chance to point out his impressive knuckles, something I hadn’t noticed before.

A hairy hoary marmot, I believe.

Spectacular, what a day! What vistas! Thanks for sharing

Correct. I'm glad you knew the name of this plant, it was new to me. Luetkea pectinata is the latin name.

Do you have a photo from back then? If so, send it my way and I’ll include it.

It is such a shock to see how much glacier ice has been lost since we were first there 55 years ago.

It’s such a beautiful place and you’ve more than done it justice with your photos and descriptions.

Ski tracks… a local getting in their run for their ongoing ‘ski every month’ quest.
