August 2008In August 2008 Rick graduated from school in Kalispell, Montana, and Fran, Alex and Martin flew up there for the occasion. We traveled by way of Banff, Canada, and then spent a couple of days hiking in Glacier National Park, Montana, before meeting Rick.

Martin scrambled up Mt. Jackson while Fran and Alex went for a hike to Gunsight Notch. Here's Martin at the summit. It was a nice view but the mountain isn't much more than a giant pile of loose scree that makes for very tedious climbing. - Martin-Gunsight-Lake.jpg
Martin rinsing off in Gunsight Lake. The lake wasn't much warmer than the patch of snow behind it. - Fran-Alex-Mt-Jackson.jpg
