Sunday Lunch at the Metzger's

Sunday Lunch at the Metzger's.



Sis. Metzger prepared a great wild game lunch for us today and it was tremendous. In the past we have had Black Bear, Buffalo, Deer and Elk on several occasions at their house and it has all been very good. Today was just a tad bit more exotic.

Can you guess the wild game on the table from the picture above? Here is a close up of one of the meats below. Any Guesses? Looks like pork doesn't it? In fact it looks and tastes so much like pork that I would not have known the difference if they had not told me.

Anybody want to venture a guess?

Any ideas?

Are you ready for this?

Here you go....

Yep, that's Mountain Lion on that plate and it was very very good! Sooooooooo Very Good!

The other meat?

The other meat Sis. Metzger prepared was Caribou. She cooked it in a crock pot with mushrooms and onions and was so tender and good!

Great Friends! Great Food! Great Fun! Doesn't get any better than that!

Glacier National Park with the Metzgers

Yesterday (Friday 7/9) we had a great day with Bro. and Sis. Metzger and Sis. Leah. We spent the whole day driving and touring through Glacier National Park and it was an awesome day! We sure appreciate the Metzger family and all their kindness and a special thanks to Bro. Metzger for chauffeuring us all day.

The Metzgers arrived just after 6:00 in the morning and we were packed up and ready to go.

The first thing on the agenda was tires. Bro. Metzger discovered that one of the tires on their Suburban was literally coming apart. That meant we HAD to have breakfast at Denny's while waiting for the tire shop to open. Sometimes life is so hard! But all you can eat pancakes for $4 helps tremendously.

We headed North about 8:30 and after a beautiful drive up through Seeley Lake and lots of great fellowship we arrived at the park entrance around noon. The road through Glacier National Park is called "The Going to the Sun Road." It is about 50 miles across and the perfect temps and sunny skies made for a fabulous drive. After another tire change and a side trip up through Many Glacier we drove back across the Going to the Sun Rd. and back toward Florence!

It was a terrific day! Here are a few pictures.

Oh! Don't forget to check my brother's blog for updates on their great Southwest Adventure. http://skdvi.blogspot.com/

Great Southwest Tour!

My older brother Steve, his lovely wife Karen and their three children Deidre, Victor and Isaac are leaving on a trip of a lifetime later today. They are flying to Phoenix, Arizona and using that as a home base to tour Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Southern California. Their trip will include a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, a three night stay down there and a hike back up. That should be exciting!

You are invited to follow along on their trip at http://skdvi.blogspot.com/

They hope to be able to post lots of pictures and updates from the trip. I'm sure you will enjoy the posts because the whole family is a riot!

God bless and protect them on their Great Adventure!
