Huh… I’ve driven through Glacier National Park in Canada a few times (between Alberta and BC somewhere…). I know its about the glaciers but unless you hike in (I’m guessing – I’ve never stopped long enough. Ok.

Huckleberries. How much do you know about huckleberries? I think before arriving in Hungry Horse, Montana, I think if you’d mentioned the word ‘hucklberries’ to me I’d have probably have thought of the cartoon character, Hucklberry Hound – the southern drawl speaking blue dog.

But far be it for [...]]]> http://travelblips.com/of-tractors-swans-and-ontario-hospitality/feed/ 0 http://travelblips.com/terror-of-the-torrent/ http://travelblips.com/terror-of-the-torrent/#comments Wed, 11 May 2011 02:25:44 +0000 Travelblips http://travelblips.com/?p=1468
