Today is Friday and I cannot believe that our trip is almost ending. We have been in East Glacier for the past 2 nights. On Wednesday we did some re-vegetation work in the park. We planted over 70 trees and plants! That evening we were visited by some Talent Search folks from the Blackfeet tribe who brought dancers and singers. These pictures cannot even describe how beautiful it was. Yesterday we hiked for about 8 miles in the St. Mary's section of Glacier. We saw several waterfalls and NO bears.....we even met a man from Hiwassee Dam. Our guide was also a tribal member and shared so much of his culture with us. Today we traveled back to Missoula and as I write this, the group is touring the University of Montana. One of their biggest football rivals happens to be App State. We will spend our last night at the KAO in Missoula. The group is doing GREAT and it has been a wonderful trip. The students have learned so much and become very close. I guess this will be our last posting so we will see you tomorrow!
