=================
++ GNP 2017 (Part 01) ++
Question #1: In 1850, there were 150 glaciers found within the Park's boundary area; today there are 25. Some experts believe all of the glaciers will be gone by the year 2030. True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

"...Sadly, this idyllic environment may be seriously threatened, as the 150 glaciers the park included in 1850 have shrunk to just 25 in recent years, with many of those remaining diminishing in size on a nearly continuous basis.
    Scentists estimate that the remaining glaciers will all be gone by 2030, a development that will have severe consequences for the entire park."

Question #2: Tourists can take a tour with one of the 33 famous Glacier red touring cars. How old is this unique Park touring option?
        A. 25 years, or
        B. 50 years, or
        C. 75 years.

"... 2011 marked the 75th anniversary of the 1936 buses giving tours in Glacier National Park."...
Of the 33 buses on the road today, 17 are from 1936, 11 are from 1937, 4 are from 1938 and 1 is from 1939....

Question #3: Both the American and the Canadian sections of the Park are open year round. True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

"HOURS: Open all year round, though most visitor facilities are closed from mid-September to late May."
