MONTANA’S HIDDEN GEM


6/22: Although initially unplanned, we found a diamond in the rough at Flathead Lake on our way to Missoula, Montana. Longtime family friends of Robin (and her parents) annually migrate to this oasis for the months of June through October. Jim & Marilyn Magnussen, Dan & Linda Jenkins were kind enough to give us the grand tour around this stunningly gorgeous community. Flathead Lake, which is named after the Flathead Indians from the region, is actually the largest freshwater lake in the western United States measuring about thirty miles long.

A special thanks to Linda Jenkins for providing an urgently needed diaper. Hayley appreciated the dry diaper for her wet tush, and Mom & Dad appreciated the end of her irritated screams.

What a gorgeous view! The Jenkins' home looks lovely. I hope that you said "hello" from us.
It also looks like you had beautiful weather there. Where is your next stop after Mizzoula?

Arco, Idaho - right near Crater of the Moons National Park.
