We woke up this morning to sunny skies and took advantage of our last hours in Polson. We sat outside after breakfast and had our coffee on the patio over looking Flathead Lake. We really enjoyed our stay here even though we had a few little thunder showers yesterday.
By 11:00 we checked out and got on the road. This time we had a very short drive of less than 70 miles to reach Missoula, Montana. We checked into our home for the night, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park. It sounds kind of funky, but it is really in a beautiful valley surrounded by the mountains of a National Forest. We were even invited to an ice cream social hosted by none other than Yogi Bear.
There are museums in Missoula, but Kathe and Jim are still in relaxing mode and didn't even get out the guide books today. That's great for me because they play ball and stuff and I can usually get a few extra treats by begging them when they sit down to start reading. I can be pretty annoying when I want to be.
They went into "old town" Missoula for lunch, but both of the recommended restaurants were closed. After driving around for about a half hour they gave up and went to the Cracker Barrel. The town was very confusing, too many one way streets and streets closed for road construction. They say Montana only has 2 seasons, winter and road construction and I believe it's true.
After lunch they put on their bathing suits and spent the afternoon at the pool. It's 97 here today and the pool was refreshing.
Yogi came by after dinner tonight. I barked at him and scared him away, so only Kathe got to have her picture taken with him.
