Many Glacier Overlook
One of my favorite views ever
What can I say, it was a long hike in a beautiful place so there were a lot of pictures taken.
On the Highline Trail
I think we were fairly lucky with the weather. The parking lot at Logan Pass was quite windy and a little cold but once you got out of the wind tunnel it was quite pleasant.
Glacier: Sun Road to Highline Trail
I’m finally back in Bozeman, ready for school to start tomorrow.
We snuck up to Glacier for the final outing of the summer. I was in Glacier last Labor Day Weekend so it was interesting to compare the snowpack from the two years.
Saturday we had some excellent weather and did the Highline Trail from Logan Pass to The Loop, it is about 12 miles (almost all downhill though) with a mandatory 0.6 mile uphill side trail to overlook the Many Glacier area.
Here are some pictures from the drive up the western portion of the Going to the Sun Road and the start of the hike.
Sulock Family Album
I am going back to Montana tomorrow morning. Yesterday I decided to take some pictures of the family’s photograph albums in attempt to take some of them with me.
Asheville Sunset
I miss disc golf at the Richmond Hill course in Asheville. I played 2 rounds today and it was a good time. There was an excellent sunset that stuck around for a while during my bike ride to meet my sister in west Asheville.
I was glad to have my little point and shoot camera. I like the concept of always carrying a camera with you.
Saw a Black Bear
I was biking up our driveway and right before I got to the house I looked up and saw a black bear right in my way. I knew there are bears around the Beaverdam area but my only previous encounter had been a passing glimpse at night once. I stopped and watched it walk across, then I hurried into the house to get my camera with my best lens.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to see it again but as I was walking down the driveway, there it was in the neighbor’s yard just sitting and munching on this tree like it didn’t have a care in the world.
It looked right at me and went back to eating. I was able to watch it for a good little bit before it walked into the woods and I became worried about being responsible for making it go somewhere it definitely shouldn’t be. It was the best view I’ve ever had of a bear not in a zoo, but I wish it was in a less populated area.
Biking Elk Mountain
I brought my bike back to North Carolina with me in the hopes of doing some riding. Davy and I managed to get out and do one of my favorite rides a couple times. You start up Elk Mountain Scenic Highway and continue to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Turn right and go down a little ways and then back up Town Mountain Road, (going down Town Mountain is hella fun) and finally back home via Kimberly Avenue.
Tube it up Broski
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Masters of Tube, David Sulock, Dot Sulock, Scott Sharpe, Michael Sulock, and Rebecca Sulock.
At Lake Chatuge
A few pictures from the more mellow times at the lake. It was the first time our immediate family had all been together in a good while.
Crash
The family and I spent the weekend at Lake Chatuge, in northern Georgia. Yesterday we rented a boat and pulled a tube.
The thing about tubing behind a boat is that you just hold on for dear life, hoping to prolong the inevitable epic crash as much as possible.
Mount Evans Scenic Byway
One of the last things we did before driving 24 hours straight to get home was go up the highest road in the United States to the top of Mount Evans. The road is only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day and in typical Colorado Style doesn’t have any guardrails.
If you even find yourself on Interstate 70 west of Denver I highly recommend it.
