Wurtz Cabin

Jess emails on Friday -- they have the Wurtz cabin for the weekend. Do we want to head up? Laura has to run on Sunday, so on Saturday afternoon I load the truck, grab a coffee, and make the two-hour drive to Columbia Falls. Topping off the gas tank, I take the North Fork road, and almost immediately the vastness of the North Fork takes over -- dense forests, a wide river, and Glacier's peaks. 48 miles later, with dusk in the air, I pull into the cabin. Jess and Ben have a campfire. We have some beers and enjoy the evening, only to realize that even though it's still light out, it's almost 11 p.m.
