This one drops you right into their day— mal and jo glacier park many Glaciers lodge in their own words. This is the most amazing thing that is going on out here at many Glacier. We’ve been talking to some of the young people here and we’d like to give you a little of the feeling of who the waiters and waitresses are at this fabulous resort hotel in Glacier National Park. They are recommended by their own English teacher, voice teacher, drama teacher, because they are expected to be capable in some field of music, theater, or art.

A few impressions, a few laughs— mal and jo glacier park continental divide in their own words. Now we want to tell you about 30 spectacular miles of highway. They include the continental divide, countless waterfalls, glaciers, snow bank, wind, sky, clouds, sunshine. These are the 30 miles from lake mcdonald up over and through logan pass on the other side. you can do it in your own automobile or you can do it in those unique red open top buses that handle about 15 wide-eyed customers complete with cameras we started from lake mcdonald lodge yes and by the way you can do it either direction if you come to east you can take trip toward the west and you can do it in your own car but really it’s much more fun to do it in the bus because you can’t open the top of your own car and you’ve got a convertible and with the top rolled back you have the view of mountain I don’t think that I’ve seen any mountains like these any place in the United States ever they are just all around you whichever direction you look there’s a snow cap mountain and start out and you see the ravages of nature the forest fires that they have suffered through one last year destroyed great section of the garden wall and we were told came very close to many glacier lodge they had to soak down the hotel and water log as our guide told us to keep it from burning but eventually though this fire started at the end of August or the beginning of September eventually it was put out by nature the snows came and as you approach logan pass you become aware of the snow it had been plowed out for us we traveled through in some of the early trips through this summer because we are here in June but the snow is still 8 10 12 and drifts of 25 feet beautiful sort of delightful to see also they give you great woolly gray blankets to cover up in so that you can keep warm while you’re traveling in the open top bus and when you get to the top of logan pass you’re happy to wrap up in a blanket you pass by one place it’s quite spectacular because you see the melting season is in effect whenever you’re able to get through logan pass and as the snow melts and as the glaciers melt the walls of stone begin to weep and there is one stretch called the weeping wall and remember all this there’s you cross the continental divide and they point out is it called triple divide mountain triple divide mountain yes where the water runs off you’d better tell them the three different directions I’ll get lost well from this one immense mountain depending on which way a drop of water goes it goes into Hudson Bay running off across Canada or it runs into the Missouri River chain and ends up in the Gulf of Mexico or it runs west and ends up in the Pacific Ocean incredible feeling this continental divide the garden wall that Joe mentioned that’s the wall of mount of sheer vertical precipice that is jagged it looks like a razor back and this is in essence what divides east from west and then there’s st. Mary’s Lake you look up the lake beautiful peaks and out in the middle there’s a very tiny island called goose island and the water is such a marvelous turquoise blue and the sky is such an intense blue and then they’re all the snow-capped mountains and then as you proceed to the east the land begins to flatten out a little bit and you’re a little sorry because the mountains are behind you and now you’re in a blackfoot Indian reservation and there are a number of Indians who still live here and live under the tribal law regulations and most of them are very poor they’ve had a bad time and they take care of cattle and sheep and work in various forms of agriculture the money comes into the tribal fund and they are sort of doled out money on which to live then you get to a little town called bab make a hard angle turn to your left and come back into the mountains and that’s where we’ll pick up our story the next time because that will be at another lodge called many glacier lodge but don’t forget it some time take a look at 30 absolutely breathtaking miles the miles over the canate over the the continental divide in Glacier National Park it’s fantastic

They keep it light and lively— Mal and Jo on the go Mount Brown Glacier Park in their own words. you this I shall choose to call fonts recorded on a mountain and if the birds cooperate and if sounds come through the pine trees perhaps you’ll be perhaps...
Captured on the go— Grand Canyon WBBM in their own words. You leave after work, you board a jet, you have a dinner, you kind of stretch out and maybe look at a newspaper, and you’re there. Phoenix is low, Flagstaff is high, like up in the mountains, and it began to be hard little pellets and then sleet, and then by the time we went through Flagstaff, it was snowing like the middle of January a couple of years ago here in Chicago. There hadn’t been any snow at that point in Chicago.
They keep it light and lively— Wisconsin Dells and The Cave WBBM in their own words. I recall we did a show earlier this spring on the Dells, didn’t we? Yes, we did, and we suggested that everybody should charge up to Wisconsin Dells because it was too far, so it’s not an expensive trip, a back easy weekend trip, and we recommended that everybody go in June and beat crowd. So we went in August and joined the crowds.
This one drops you right into their day— 1968 Weekend in Wisconsin and Wulffs Island Inn in their own words. You know, where you can leave Chicago or this part of the country on a Friday afternoon and get where you’re going by supper time and bed down in a nice place and be assured that you’ll find one or two interesting spots for meals and maybe a little sightseeing along the way. And we came upon Wolf’s Island Inn. Well, when I was young, a teenager, we used to think it was great and exciting to go out to Wolf’s Island for dinner.
Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1968 Mama Lena Restaurant in their own words. The fanfare, now we’ll hear what we’re having for dinner. For dessert, we’re going to have homemade cannoli, which we will make right on the stage and tell you a little bit about the restaurant, what has happened to us, what is hopefully in the future for us. It’s called Mamalinas and it’s at 24 East Chicago Avenue and it seats just 30 people.
Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1968 In a pumpkin field at Wauconda Apple Orchard with Chris and Jeff (audio drops briefly in spots) 3 min in their own words. So if you’ve got a city type child as most of us have and you’ve never really planted a cornfield or a pumpkin field maybe one of these Sundays very soon now before Halloween you ought to get out into the country this is one of the places where and if you don’t pick your own apples this is a great project because you come in and you either your baskets or they sell you the baskets and then you take off and they show you where to park and they have the ladders and you go up into the trees and you pull all the apples you want and then you take them home and you feel so rich because all of a sudden you’ve got apples and squash and cider in the freezer and and taffy apples this is a ball it’s a good way to spend a Sunday think about it
Just enough detail to put you there— 1968 Hyatt Regency in Atlanta in their own words. That’s a show we have. And it shows you what a really progressive place Atlanta is.
