We spent this past weekend in West Glacier at StepsAway 244 to do some spring cleaning and prepare the property for a new septic system. The snow is out early this year, at least compared to last year! We were able to remove all the outdoor electrical heat tape and heat matts; cleared the paving stones from the area destined to be the new drain field; we even managed to build a new paving stone sidewalk at StepsAway 254.
The Glacier National Park is amazing as Spring starts to hit. Birds are building nests everywhere – even where we wish they wouldn’t. We had many deer hiking around “the neighborhood”. But, by the far the most exciting visitor was this gorgeous fox. He/she came trotting into the backyard while I was sitting in the “Log Room”. He came right up to the back porch and looked at me through the back windows. After our brief connection, he strolled around the cabin, across the front yard and across the street, like he had probably been doing for several months without any human interference!
