Polson, MT-July 17, 2012



First, to the people of Montana, I say please excuse my mistake in spelling Bitterroot as two words in previous blogs. I did not catch that mistake until this morning. So sorry.
It was another beautiful drive from Hamilton to Polson. We are near, but not right beside Flathead Lake. Our drive took us through and along the Mission Mountains. Last night we found out that Polson is having their Cherry Festival this weekend. We had Flathead cherries last year in Buffalo, Wyoming. We cannot believe we are so fortunate to be here for this weekend. No one told me that when I made reservations. We are parked beside a cherry orchard which is for sale. It is obvious there are not even any blooms on these trees. The weather has not been kind to the cherry crop this year. So, cherries are being brought in from Washington state for the Festival. We like Ranier cherries, too, so we are not complaining. There are many things to do and see here. We may have to stay longer than a week to get it all done. We have the time so it won't be a problem. It is humid here today, called Montana muggy. It has been so dry that we are really feeling it. It shows up in the pictures, too. We were told when the sky is clear we can see the Glaciers. That must be a sight.
