Missoula
There was more to my trip to Missoula last weekend than just Obama. It was actually Hilary’s birthday on Friday. Happy Birthday Hil! Now she has joined me in the 28 years young club. It is fun to have a friend from North Carolina living so close. 2 and a half hours away is basically next-door in Montana terms. If everyone I knew lived out here I’d probably never think twice about moving back east.
I met her posse, a nice, down to earth group of folks, and we went out and experienced some of the Missoula scene. Good times. I don’t go to bars in Bozeman much these days, and If I’m not in bed by midnight I probably turn into a pumpkin.
The two city shots were from a short hike Hil and I did on Sunday, which offered some good views of Missoula and the surrounding area. Even with the clouds (basically a given in these parts recently) the weather was decently warm and it wasn’t snowing and we weren’t walking in snow, all of which I was thankful for.
On a warmer note, the high is supposed to be 67 in a couple of days, and since it has been snowing basically everyday for the past week that will be a nice change.
One last thing, I’ve been making the pictures a little bigger these day, if they are too big let me know.
Ahh man, we did have a good weekend — Warm weather, crazy hike and NO lone tree, inspirational Obama speech, and a new proud member of the 28 year young club, although I have yet to receive my card. Probably in the mail, I’m sure.
Glad to have you nearby too. Only warmer weather to come. Yay!
I guess we all know why Obama didn’t come to Hilary’s birthday party!
I think I remember the Top Hat. Remember when you got yr knife sharpened in Missoula from that street person? Ah I need to refresh these memories and visit. Good times!
I do remember when that street person sharpened my knife. Good times. You should refresh those memories, now that Hilary’s in Missoula we can go stay with her!
Michael, I am always thrilled when you post a new bunch of photos and comments. Thanks for being a frequent blogger!
