(Dial up Warning) Some of you may remember I was

[Ptah]

born and raised in Montana.
I have been here in the desert for a decade or two.

To mitigate my homesickness, I check in often with the
live webcams in Glacier National Park.

I capture images I think are worth saving:



I've been able to capture a few shots of sunrises.



Some of them are ordinary.




This morning, I got a surprise




Trivia from the mind of Ptah.

:hi:

[Ptah]

1. Is this thing on?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Ptah..........

I always enjoy your pictures!

But this last one has me puzzled.....

What is the "viva" thing?

I can't tell!

:shrug:

:hug:

[aquaman]

3. Appears to be an 18 Wheeler....

cruising down the road. Hey Ms. Peggy. :hi:

[wildhorses]

4. yep that's what it looks like to me

how mundane...
thanks for sharing Ptah:hug:

[Ptah]

7. mundane ~ trivial - you decide.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear aquaman!

Upon further investigation, I believe you're right!

How cool is that? An 18-wheeler!

Good to see you tonight! :hi:

[Ptah]

6. Could it be

liberaltrucker?

:shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Ah, I don't think so......

He has a red truck, IIRC......:hi:

[Ptah]

9. Oh well, that would have been cool.

:hi: :hug:

[liberaltrucker]

10. Beautiful pics!!!

Montana IS a wonderful State. But so is Arizona. I loaded in Tucson
Thursday. Your current home is equally wonderful in it's own way.

Wish I'd had time to visit. Gotta be in TN Monday morning.

:hi:

[Ptah]

11. Shiny side up.

Good to hear from you.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Inquiring minds would like to know........

My dear liberaltrucker....

Is your truck red?

Good to see you tonight!

:loveya:

:hug:

[liberaltrucker]

15. Yep, red truck-blue driver

:rofl:

:hug:

13. So gorgeous.

I forgot what town you are from.

I was born in Glasgow, moved away when I was one or two, ended up in Havre from age 10 to 18, went to college in Missoula (god, that was wonderful), and find myself in Great Falls tonight.


Anyway, thanks for posting. I was through Glacier last autumn. Hope to camp there again before all the glaciers are gone.

14. My hometown is Conrad.

When I was sixteen, my family moved.

I found them.

Finished High Scool near Tucson.

:hi:

psst: kudzu? whod'a thunk it.

[swag]

16. Oh, my god.

Conrad?

Did you know any Gustafsons?

[Ptah]

17. Rib was our vet.

how cool is that.

[swag]

18. Have we talked about this before?

I bet we have.

I knew Wylie and Erik in college. They were in a band that I used to alternately praise and trash in the college paper.

[Ptah]

19. I don't remember talking about this.

Oh well, hi neighbor!

They (Wylie and Erik) were mentioned in a magazine I subscribe to.

Here's a link:

20. So funny. Thanks for the links.

Both are amazing musicians and very fun interviews. Erik the crazier, of course.

His Chet Atkins style pickin' was just jaw-dropping.

What year did you leave Conrad?
