What's really wild these days in the USA?
Recently we were up in Glacier National Park. For sure it's stunning. We saw bears and glaciers and big horn sheep and mountains galore. It was wild but undoubtably a dampened down wilderness.
Every hike we were on was like a parade of hikers. Barely a minute passed when we were not in view of another party of hikers.
Seemed that last time I was there (1994) it was a lot wilder. Yet back then I never saw a single bear. This time I saw four. Is the park becoming overrun? It felt like a glorified safari park.

Still, it was a great trip. No doubt about it.

I'm not much of a blogger. Occasionally I scribble something off the top of my head and post it online. So far no one has taken any notice. I can't really say I care.

Will Neilston Juniors get relegated? What went wrong? What went right?

Do whales and dolphins have a sense of smell? Is that blow hole just for breathing? Do I look worried?

Only 3200 tigers in the wild. That can't be good. 8 billion humans.
