the flip lives!

the flip, our little video camera, survived its fall into the platte river! this (very exciting) footage was shot shortly before i capsized.



it seems we just needed to let the little camera dry out for a while. poor sam has had some experience with this, as it's not the first of our electronic devices i've submerged in water.

we failed to take very many pictures in glacier national park, but at least i can share the view from the edge of our campground.


some of the unphotographed highlights of the park were the grizzly bear we saw (from a distance, thankfully); a long hike to a pass where bighorn sheep were grazing and wandering through the snow; the herd of (wild?) horses that led us back to our campsite under a full moon; all the lovely wildflowers; and the two slices of delicious pie we ate at a cafe on the edge of the park .

after two nights at our peaceful campsite, we packed up and headed south to missoula, which is where we are now. sam will be back soon with another update! we love you all.

More, More! You two should have a show. Maybe a do-it-yourselfer on YouTube, like that older man and woman that critique the movies and are funny at the same time. Yeah, like that, except you would be younger and maybe wouldn't talk about movies. And maybe on different sporting equipment each time. Kayak today, hang glider tomorrow! :o)
