Hats off to my predecessor, District Ranger Mike Muñoz from the Rocky Mountain District. High praise to him for playing the coordination role between the Hungry Horse/Glacier View, Lincoln, Seeley Lake, Spotted Bear and Swan Lake Ranger Districts that are charged with stewarding this special place. Kind of a bit of a thankless task that Mike performed for us over the past three years. I lavishly appreciate him herein. I’ll do my best to fill the shoes. As the winter season ebbs, the Spotted Bear Ranger District (SBRD) is already in high gear getting ready for our return to the District Office at the confluence of the Southfork of the Flathead and Spotted Bear Rivers in mid-May.
