James, I have heard a great many things about both men. There are other tv celebs who have places near the park. Letterman has a place about 60 miles south of me. Celebs in Montana are a mixed bag – kind of bitter sweet. The prarie foundaion (http://www.americanprairie.org/) uses a great stratigy to get money from the rich to buy land and put it in conservation easements. The foundation only wants the money, and the rich people only buy the land, they dont move in and bring the rest of the world with them.

So far, the flowers are remarkable this year. The bear grass is as good as anyone can remember. Time will tell if the other high country flowers materialize but if they are anywhere near as good as the sub alpine stuff, we are in for a banner year at glacier.
