Into Missoula

We made it down from Kalispel to Missoula with no problems. The trip down skirts Flathead Lake, the Mission Mountains and other beautiful scenery which was hardly visiable because of the forest fire smoke. Fires in the Missoula area are about the same as the ones up north. We set and went into town for a while then headed out to Alberton to visit Linda and Chuck Gardner. They had just finished a stamped concrete project for their walkways around the house. It looks great. Their house is up in the woods and very nice. We had dinner and talked and talked. They're grandparents now and the christening of little Lydia, Polly and Rob's little girl, is this weekend. A good number of eastern folks are coming out for the event and we're looking forward to it.
