To kill some time, I went for a nice 2 1/2 mile hike/run up to Avalanche Lake. It was a beautiful little blue lake surrounded by high craggy peaks. Ribbons of long waterfalls fell from the mountains into the perfectly clear lake.
In the late afternoon, against all odds, I met up with my longtime friend and customer and fellow Hastingite, Aaron Moen. We both knew weeks ago that I would be in the Glacier area at approximately the same time he was going to be in Kalispell for a wildlife photography opportunity. We planned to meet, but we both questioned weather it would really happen because of timing, logistics, and cell phone service issues. I left a message for Aaron this morning telling him where I planned to camp knowing that I wouldn't have cell coverage at Avalanche Creek and just hoped things would work out. It did, thanks in part to a pay phone, which I barely remembered how to use. We had dinner at the Lake McDonald Lodge and had a great conversation.
