Day 33 to 37 Montana Moments

Once we were back in Ronan, we met with Brenda and the rest of the gang for a day out at the Quinns Hot springs, they were really good to remove any of the aches and pains from our adventures at Glacier. The evening was rounded out by dinner at the Durham bar, live music from locals that want to give it a go made it very interesting.

On the Thursday, Brenda Zaga and I went into Missoula for the day, a little bit of shopping, and a stop at a cider brewery to sample the local concoctions. We went on to the local theatre to the Edgar Allan Poe show, it was a mix of monologues of his stories, each one was delivered with a different cocktail. Rob went out for a little drive in the car which turned into a 368 mile odyssey with him landing within 10 miles of the Canada border !

Friday Rob and I cycled into Polson, which was on a very nice cycle path, 35 miles round trip but we met the girls at the local coffee shop for coffee and cake so that helped. That evening we were treated to another of Dave’s amazing meals and the appetizer was a great cheese board full of local cheeses. There were also some more beautiful sunsets and Rob walked up a little higher than the house to see what he could capture.

Saturday morning I met Brenda at the coffee shop and went out to watch her train to be a volunteer at the stables for Horse therapy for disabled and mentally challenged children. Also got to see both of her horses, one of which was saddled up so she could give him a good workout.

Sunday morning was a meet up at the cafe for coffee breakfast and farewell hugs, we were driving off to spend the night boondocking at Lookout Pass Ski Area on the Montana Idaho Border, ready to do the Hiawatha bike trail tomorrow
