<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your comments about the private owners and businesses in East Glacier versus the large GNP consortium. When I go through East Glacier this year I will confine all my expenditures to these private and small businesses outside the park. I must buy my backcounty camping permits within the park, however. I believe we need to support small and private businesses along the trail as much as possible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again,</DIV>
