Saturday escapades

Mountain, snow, clouds...all the ingredients of Glacier.

The settlement of Polebridge doesn't have electricity.  But you can still watch tv.

Hummingbird wanted!  Flower-y location right outside the 'common room' window.
WEST GLACIER, MT - - After last night's rain, this morning was bright and sunny.  But we know better, because the clouds are always lurking.  You might not get rained on, but you can be sure someone nearby is.
      We decided to head out to Polebridge, a small settlement of folks who are very happy to live somewhat off the grid.  Solar panels provide some power, generators the rest.  Dish TV and internet reception is available.  Some homes are for sale.  If you don't have $500,000 in petty cash don't bother asking the selling price. It's 28 or so miles to the nearest town/gas/groceries/anything else so you better enjoy your own company.
