Armchair Traveling

That's what we're doing these Tuesday nights during "Montana History" at the Marias Heritage Center here in Shelby. Last week, we started the book, "Glacier From the Inside Out-Best stories from The Inside Trail". The individual stories in this book edited by Ray Djuff & Chris Morrison are 1st person accounts covering a century of park history as told by those who know glorious Glacier best, the insiders. They tell of coming-of-age experiences in a mountain paradise, of characters past & present, & of lessons learned to last a lifetime.  I'm enjoying the heck out of these stories & if I were 10 years younger & didn't have the responsibility of doing the Puffman Show, I would "hire on"as a bellhop or chamber maid up there this summer. I can't believe you get paid to work & live in this spectacular glacier paradise. The 1st 27 pages of stories & tales from former Glacier National Park workers have been truly delightful & I can't wait to crack open this read tonight. See you up at the Marias Heritage Center this evening (Tuesday) at 6 for more "Montana History". I think I also might do well being a gear jammer driving one of those red jammers up & down the Going To The Sun Highway!
