Which is better?

Gassing up rental car
Plenty of time to gas up the rental car without having to rush.

In the Montana town of Hungry Horse, a clever Dam Town Tavern sign.

 

Which is better?

Running behind schedule or running ahead of schedule?

“Dam” questions like these make some smile and others angry.

We had reservations for the high-mountain Sperry Chalet, but it burnt down the day before.

Howard inspired me in the most surprising way – his assertive friendliness – he reminded me of a great Disney Cast Member who doesn’t know any other way.

We walked there from our hotel.

We walked everywhere from our hotel.

Apgar Village is about two blocks long and one street wide.

What are they dropping on the fire?

Ginger, the Golden Retriever.

 

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017
Ginger has no cares about the fire. Her owner on the other hand, realizes she may return to nothing but ashes.

 

Howard says, “What are they dropping on the fire?”

“Water.”, i reply.

We watched the helicopter make continuous trips behind the ridge then back up near Mt Brown Lookout and drop “water”.

Howard spotted two people on a dock near Cabin 20 and said, “Let’s ask them.”

“They’re not gonna know. Plus, it’s creepy because we are complete strangers.”

Howard drifted closer and struck up a conversation. They invited us to dock.

An Attorney and a Real Estate Agent. One grew up spending Summers in the Family cabin (just down from Cabin 20). The other, a friend of hers.

We sensed a deep sadness in the reality that the fire is unstoppable, no rain is in the forecast, and fire danger at extreme even without the fire.

There was talk that their only hope may be the first snowfall.

It’s September 2nd.

Over-focused on the same details others under-focus on or ignore.

 

The Happiest Place on Earth is where ever you are at the moment. It’s our call.

 

Not gonna lie, i do not like being the first one on the trail. Also don’t like being the only ones on the trail.

We were both.

It was exhilarating.
