Comments on: They Were “Honeyed Up;” Reflections from my Days As a Back-country Ranger http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2008/05/21/they-were-honey-up-reflections-from-my-days-as-a-backcountry-ranger-in-glacier-national-park Glimpses From Bert & Jane Gildart's Travel Adventures Tue, 22 May 2012 00:20:47 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Bert http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2008/05/21/they-were-honey-up-reflections-from-my-days-as-a-backcountry-ranger-in-glacier-national-park/comment-page-1#comment-73482 Bert Tue, 28 Dec 2010 15:19:20 +0000 http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2008/05/21/they-were-%e2%80%9choney-up%e2%80%9d-reflections-from-my-days-as-a-backcountry-ranger-in-glacier-national-park#comment-73482 Hi, Mike, One of the main reasons I write blogs is that they sometimes attract interesting people from my past. I've hear, incidentally, from Harrison and his son. Cut Bank was the height of my years as a ranger, and I visit the old station at least once a year. Several years ago I climbed Mad Wolf, that mountain that you see as you're standing on the ranger station porch. Technically, it's not difficult, just a long days grunt. Thanks for writing! And maybe we'll see you some day in Glacier. Bert Hi, Mike,

But could it really be 29 years ago? It was my first taste of 'the west'. You were such a big help for me because I was the nut who liked to hike a bit. By guiding me to the right spots you made me see more beautiful places of that park than one could imagine. Mike Hey Bert,

I did so with much anguish as it had served me so well and I had amassed such a wonderful collection of images. I kept it simply because I liked having it around. However, almost everything I do now is digital. What's more, several years had passed since I actually put it to use, so I sold it (for more than I paid for it) and reinvested in scanners, and several top of the line digital Nikon cameras. I still have a 4x5 system, but that too may go as the detail available through Photoshop techniques is simply amazing. Seems like many things change as we go through life, but I've got to say that Cut Bank still looks just about the same. In fact, I bet that Chaunce Beebe, the first ranger to occupy the ranger station, might feel right at home. That's in large part due to the wonderful restoration work your dad and his crew performed 29 years ago. If you're out this way, look me up. Are you all still in New Jersey? Thanks for the note!

Although being very young at the time it is a moment in life that I will never forget. Camping in a tent for months every summer at differn't parks and projects. Hope everyone is all well and you still have your Hasselblad. Bert,
