Arrived in Polson, Montana Sunday. We are on the southern shore of Flathead Lake, the largest natural, fresh water lake west of the Mississippi. Yesterday, we drove the perimeter of the lake which was very scenic but not conducive to good photography. The village of Bigfoot is on the north shore with a main street consisting of older buildings gentrified into a modernistic yet delightful western town. We asked a shop owner if the gentrfication was the result on a master plan. "Shucks no, no plan, no zoning, no architectural review. We just talk to one another and if a new shop owner builds somethings without talking to us, their business doesn't seem to do very well." I mean, these folks don't trust government at any level.

Flathead Lake. It's beautiful.

See anything different? It saves about 5 minutes off my morning routine.
Today it's raining but nothing like the rain in Punta Gorda. So it's a day to catch up on reading, laundry etc.
It is amazing. We have been on the road for a month now and until today experienced about a total of 3 hours of rain!
Tomorrow, we plan to do glacier National Park. Hope to get some good photos.
Stay dry everyone (in Punta Gorda).
