Glacier National Park Backpacking - Kintla to Bowman - September 2018
I traveled back to Glacier National Park in mid-September for the 'grand finale' hike of the 2018 season.
Just a few weeks before the trip the 'Boundary' fire started in the North Fork area, closing all the trails and backcountry campsites on my permit. I was 99% certain this trip wasn't going to happen so I made plans for an alternate trip to Pictured Rocks in Michigan. But then snow came to Glacier in early September, moderating the fires and smoke. It wasn't until two days before my flight that I made the final decision to make my destination Glacier.
Following the theme of my other 2018 hikes, this one had more than its share of 'adventure' - forest fires and smoke, cold temperatures combined with rain, sleet, ice pellets, snow, and wind... plus a bit of hypothermia. But it also had in abundance the indescribably breathtaking scenery that the backcountry of Glacier has to offer. And it provided what is certainly the most enjoyable night I've ever spent in a backcountry campsite on the last night in Bowman Lake campground.
For those who have watched my other videos this one is done in the same style - a little over an hour in length, intended to bring the audience along for the ride, and with a still picture slide show with music at the end. If you just have a few minutes skip to the end and enjoy the pictures.

Georgia is a state located in the southeastern United States. It was established in 1732, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. Named after King George II of Great Britain, Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788. It declared its secession from the Union on January 19, 1861, and was one of the original seven Confederate states.
It was the last state to be restored to the Union, on July 15, 1870. Georgia is the 24th most extensive and the 8th most populous of the 50 United States. From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia's counties ranked among the nation's 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas. Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South. Atlanta is the state's capital and its most populous city.
Georgia is bordered on the south by Florida; on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina; on the west by Alabama; and on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina. The northern part of the state is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a mountain range in the Appalachian Mountain system. The central Piedmont extends from the foothills to the fall line, where the rivers cascade down in elevation to the continental coastal plain of the southern part of the state.
The highest point in Georgia is Brasstown Bald, 4,784 feet (1,458 m); the lowest point is the Atlantic Ocean. Georgia is the most extensive state east of the Mississippi River in terms of land area, although it is the fourth most extensive (after Michigan, Florida, and Wisconsin) in total area, including expanses of water that are part of state territory.
History
Before settlement by Europeans, Georgia was inhabited by the mound building cultures. The British colony of Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733 (February 1, 1732 O.S.). The colony was administered by the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America under a charter issued by (and named for) King George II.
The Trustees implemented an elaborate plan for the colony's settlement, known as the Oglethorpe Plan, which envisioned an agrarian society of yeoman farmers and prohibited slavery. In 1742 the colony was invaded by the Spanish during the War of Jenkins' Ear. In 1752, after the government failed to renew subsidies that had helped support the colony, the Trustees turned over control to the crown. Georgia became a crown colony, with a governor appointed by the king.
Province of Georgia was one of the Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution by signing the 1776 Declaration of Independence. After the war, Georgia became the fourth state of the Union by ratifying the Constitution on January 2, 1788.
In 1829, gold was discovered in the North Georgia mountains, which led to the Georgia Gold Rush and an established federal mint in Dahlonega, which continued its operation until 1861. The subsequent influx of white settlers put pressure on the government to take land from the Cherokee Nation. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act into law, sending many eastern Native American nations to reservations in present-day Oklahoma, including all of Georgia's tribes.
Despite the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia that states were not permitted to redraw the Indian boundaries, President Jackson and the state of Georgia ignored the ruling. In 1838, his successor, Martin Van Buren, dispatched federal troops to gather the Cherokee and deport them west of the Mississippi. This forced relocation, known as the Trail of Tears, led to the death of over 4,000 Cherokees.
In early 1861, Georgia joined the Confederacy and became a major theater of the Civil War. Major battles took place at Chickamauga, Kennesaw Mountain, and Atlanta. In December 1864, a large swath of the state from Atlanta to Savannah was destroyed during General William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea. 18,253 Georgian soldiers died in service, roughly 1 of every 5 who served. In 1870, following reconstruction, Georgia became the last Confederate state restored to the Union.
Meridian Mississippi Downtown Tour
Exploring Meridian, Mississippi in 2019. Always fun to be back and drive through to see whats changed.
From Wikipedia:
Meridian is the sixth largest city in the state of Mississippi, United States. It is the county seat of Lauderdale County and the principal city of the Meridian, Mississippi Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Along major highways, the city is 93 mi (150 km) east of Jackson, Mississippi; 154 mi (248 km) southwest of Birmingham, Alabama; 202 mi (325 km) northeast of New Orleans, Louisiana; and 231 mi (372 km) southeast of Memphis, Tennessee.
Established in 1860, at the junction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and Southern Railway of Mississippi, Meridian built an economy based on the railways and goods transported on them, and it became a strategic trading center. During the American Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman burned much of the city to the ground in the Battle of Meridian (February 1864).
Rebuilt after the war, the city entered a Golden Age. It became the largest city in Mississippi between 1890 and 1930, and a leading center for manufacturing in the South, with 44 trains arriving and departing daily. Union Station, built in 1906, is now a multi-modal center, with access to Amtrak and Greyhound Buses averaging 242,360 passengers per year.
Although the economy slowed with the decline of the railroad industry, the city has diversified, with healthcare, military, and manufacturing employing the most people in 2010.
The population within the city limits, according to 2008 census estimates, is 38,232, but a population of 232,900 in a 45-mile (72 km) radius and 526,500 in a 65-mile (105 km) radius, of which 104,600 and 234,200 people respectively are in the labor force, feeds the economy of the city.

Pier on Belle Isle, Detroit River (facing Detroit side - as opposed to Windsor Canada)
The Detroit River is 28 miles from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie, is an international waterway, and one of
the busiest in the world.
Its largest tributary is the River Rouge in Michigan, which is actually four times longer than the Detroit River and contains most of the basin.
In 1907, the Detroit River carried 67,292,504 tons of shipping commerce through Detroit to locations all over the world (London shipped 18,727,230 tons, and New York shipped 20,390,953 tons).
The Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, and the St. Clair River carried 75% of all liquor smuggled into the United States during Prohibition.
The deepest portion of the Detroit River is 53 feet. Fish species in abundance in the area include lake whitefish, sturgeon, silver bass, green bass, salmon, perch, and walleye.
It is estimated that walleye fishing alone brings in $1 million to the economy of communities along the lower Detroit River each spring.

Downtown Pontiac Michigan
Overlooking downtown Pontiac. These were taken from the 8th floor of McLaren Oakland Medical Center when I went to visit a friend. From this high up, downtown looks pretty awesome. Most of the pics were the north and east sides of downtown.
