We visited the city of Missoula today. We wandered around downtown, hit the U of M, saw some friends that had moved from the Seattle area to western Montana, etc. I also picked up some info for Doc on float and fly fishing around here (also some bear, goat, sheep and moose for myself).
The town was blanketed in smoke from the forest fires in Glacier. If you were standing at the letter 'M', you wouldn't have been able to see across the town.
We also stopped into the town of Rock Creek. Next month they'll be having their 'Testicle Festival' which celebrates the "Rocky Mountain Oyster'. Here's the 'Testy Festy' website. Go take a look.
Tomorrow we will be taking a boat trip to something called 'The Gates of the Mountains'. From what I've been told the scenery is gorgeous. I'll be taking pics and posting them late tomorrow or early Thursday.
Talk to you all later.

Thanks for the brochure score on flyfishing, AK.
You guys enjoy the rest of the vacation.
