On our way back from Canada, we headed to Bellingham Washington and stayed over night with friends, Dr. Bruce Whipple and his wife Lillian, who live at the 'Firs' on beautiful lake Whatcom. Dick and Sharon Whipple were also there, so we were able to visit with both of these wonderful couples. The Whipple's parents started this extensive Christian Camp and Conference Center known as the 'FIRS' on Lake Whatcom, near Bellingham Washington; http://www.thefirs.org/ Then we proceeded to Glacier National Park in Montana and visited our dear friends, Jim and Shirley Folston, who live in Kalispel Montana six months out of the year. Their home is high up on a mountain overlooking the Great Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park, a good location for a former Pan Am pilot. We stayed over night there and Jim took us on a special guided tour of Glacier National Park. Just amazing, saw the largest Grizzly bear we had ever seen and many Mountain Goats, lakes, glaciers, and took a couple of really good hikes. The above two pictures of Saint Mary's Falls are so picturesque, that these shots really deserve a special click to enlarge, this falls was so beautiful. Glacier Park, unlike Yellowstone is one amazing area that many people somehow seem to overlook.
