Sometimes my job is particularly awesome. Last Thursday, 5/21, for example: there was a media trip beyond the closed gate up the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. Got to walk on avalanche debris - and we're talking debris: trees with their limbs wrenched off, dirt, brush, pine needles... The edge of the road was broken away, and the old rock guard walls had been wiped out along a 500 foot section. Then, we were driven up as far as possible, and walked up to where they were still plowing the road. It was a beautiful sunny day following a slew of cold rainy ones.
