I Have become Lazy.

Week Unknown.


I think the story leaves off on the week of the Fourth. My parents were coming to Missoula to visit and bringing along my two dogs, my sisters, and the younger Sisters BF.  I had offered to work the beginning of the week, so I could have the end of the week off to cherish with my Family. The town I worked in was called Eureka. Eureka was located 8 miles south of Canada, which I guess makes it a Canadian Tourist town? The hill on this picture is Canada.   The towns people were very pleasant and has a very nice forestry operation.  The man in charge was Mike.  A goofy guy that was from California originally, And graduated in the late 70's. It was a great experiance working with mike, who was a avid "dead head" and had Grateful dead on a flash drive ready to play. Some of the views on the trip up and during the morning were just great. Especially when the clouds rise up and sink around the mountains. I took a picture hoping it would show this happening,  it's not the best but you get the picture. Hardy har. And actually I have some pictures of the mission mountains which I am pretty sure I passed a few times that week,  but I think They are my favorite sight in montana. I can't wait to camp there hopefully after next payday.  Still need a pot that I can backpack with.

Adventures With the Family
So I showed them most of the sights on my Tourist map given to me by my very professional boss. We made a stop at all the pawn shops that had above average advertising, we stopped at Fort Missoula to witness where they detained the Japanese Americans in WWII, Garnet Ghost Town to be carried off by heat deranged black flies, Drove around the prarie in search of the Bison at The Bison Range, and went to kettle house brewery to give them what is said to be Missoulas best barely brew. At Fort Missoula, The had some propaganda posters that go beyond stereotyping. What a lost art. haha.

The Bison Range had its ups and downs. The trail to the range definatly didn't need to be that long. 19 miles and only on the last mile had any bison.

Poe in this picture is getting really in the spirit of Missoula and threw his hair back in a pony tail.

The Family photo where my lazy eye has come out in full force. In my efforts to get all of us in, we some how chopped Poe.
One on my many photos trying to catch the right picture that displays jacks personality. but the camera shutter is too slow. I cam to find out later that my camera has a setting for catching pets and children. I should read the manual. Notice how Poe is laying in the background...
The Great Town of Choteau, Montana.


The out house was located in the beautiful town of Choteau, Montana.  I have a inside shot, but it would terrify small children. Funny thing is that it is at the town park. Class... On the left is me measuring the right of way which is forty feet from the center line. Supposedly, as the picture demonstrates. This town is also the second town I have ever been to with a round about with the city building in the center. Kinda classy. The other is of course in Wisconsin on the border of the U.P. Home of the true pasty...
