Celebrating 75 years !!

Dearest Dad,

Happy, happy 75th Birthday!!

Yup! here's good ole' dad ... steering the way across Kintla lake only a few weeks ago (August 2012).

Steering equals guidance...
and I want to thank you for a lifetime full of your thoughtful input.

I am blessed to have had you share your wisdom and insight in many situations to help lead the way, all while left to still make my own choices.

A few more pics of beautiful Kintla Lake:

Campsite #4 and the River running past only 10 ft away...

my Dad is ...
... as steadfast as Goose Island

... as powerful as a Glacial Water Fall

... as reliable as the Osprey

... as wise as the Eagle

... as stable as the Mountain Goat

... as respected as the Bear

... as well traveled as the Trout

... as young hearted as the Chipmunk

... and as interesting as the Butterfly

A few gorgeous views from our second campsite # 144 in east Glacier at Saint Mary's Lake

Thank you for this excellent trip together and all the planning you put into ensuring we had a wonderful time... what great new memories I now have of camping, eating camp meals, boating, fishing, nature walking, wild life viewing, and just hanging out together. Road Trip..

I love you dad and look forward to the creation of even more memories while discovering many more great places to be with you and would also love to experience some more family outings with the whole family extension soon too.

Wouldn't it would also be really great to make a trip back east to the Adirondacks or any other choice lake that we have all enjoyed before.

Lastly, a few last pics of good ole' dad fishing along a rivers edge on the way home. The icing on the cake was fishing while eagles soared overhead engrossed in their own fish finding flight.


The cast !!

Here fishy fishy ... I have already hooked two of your buddies

Happy Birthday - Love Scott !
