Missoula, Montana

We will start our four days in Glacier National Park on Sunday morning.  We are staying outside the West entrance in Kalispell, Montana because Glaciers' 70 year old roads aren't made for modern day motorhomes.  They have a 21 foot length limitation which rules out even some pick-up trucks.  Our in-park travel will be in our Honda Fit, just the right size for the amazing roads through the park.

Today we arrived in Missoula and had a great day visiting the town.  They were having an outdoor music festival in the downtown park on the river.  After taking Eva to the dog park which is on an island in the middle of the river we spent the afternoon and evening sitting on the lawn listening to good music. 

They have created a man-made reef in the river that is designed for surfing.  I can now say, "The surfing is awesome in downtown Missoula, dude."  There were 8 or 9 surfers both young and old enjoying the surf in 95 degree weather.

For those wondering how my heart is doing, the answer is great.  Terri and I have been sharing the driving and that has made it easy for both of us.  She'll be doing all the driving when we are in Glacier, so I'll sit back and enjoy.

Life is good in the Rockies.

Baby Mountain Goat we saw last week.
I hope to see many while in Glacier.
