So a funny thing happened in the evening last night.  The forrest fires have been really horrible around Ennis and while we were camping last night there was an emergency evacuation for some subdivisions south of town.  Now we were super far away from this area and there was NO danger that the fires were going to get close to us, but being in that much smoke while tent camping is not the most pleasant thing to do.  So, we packed up our tent last night, threw everything in the truck and headed back up north to Whitefish where the smoke is only moderately horrible.

And in addition to the fires down near Ennis, our beloved Glacier National Park up here in our neck of the woods is burning uncontrollably as I type.  They have evacuated Lake McDonald Lodge and closed the Going to the Sun road from the west side.  It’s heartbreaking to see.  Trying to smile and breathe through the smoke tonight.  I’ll catch up with you all again tomorrow xxoo
