The last time I went over to Two Medicine in the winter, my contact ended up ripping. Not a big deal for most folks, but when you are as blind as me, that means that depth perception is completely gone! I didn't end up with a splitting headache, like I thought that I would, but I did spend most of the ride in the car with my eyes closed to avoid one. (No, I wasn't the driver!) I guess what that means is, I didn't pay enough attention to the route we took to get there. So this time, we found out that if you go all the way to Browning, and double back, you can't get to Two Medicine. So we went North to Many Glacier instead. I don't know exactly what the temp. was, but it was warm, and we really didn't need any snow shoes, either. I took my skis, and it was a matter of trying to keep the 2-3 inches of snow, on top of 2-3 inches of slush, on top of 2-3 inches of water from creating a suction on my skis each time I went to glide forward. It didn't take long to wear me out, and you'll notice that the pictures I took don't include any of the return trip. That's because there came a point when this old, fat man was only worried about making it back to the car! There was good fellowship on the way back though. Todd H. was kind enough to turn back early with me, and we had a great time talking about what Jesus is doing in our lives, and our families. The rest of the the guys made it to the Many Glacier Hotel, which was about a 16 mile round trip. It was a fun day, and a nice trip over and back, with the music selection of Sabriand. I would like to try to get up somewhere higher in elevation this next trip. May the Living God bless you guys in everything you take on this week!
