lar and tom

todaay was kinda a quiet day...first tom arrived from kalispell around 8:30 had a cup of coffe or 2 then went out to breakfast--then back to the rig to visit...tom had to leave around 11 as he had a meeting he had to go to..short but good to see him again..

then we adventured to the elk federation where we saw lots of elk...no not real bronzed and stuffed...

after which we took a tour out missoula..went to cosco ang ot gas for 2.82 a gal and of course had to do some shopping and NO did not buy me a hot dog ....

then we really did go out to dinner found a nice place and even with a TV..a couple next to us asked to have the station put on the kentucky derby so we got to watch the race...didn't have any money on any horses but it was exciting noe the less...couldn't hear it but could read it...

it has snowed on the mountains all day today and even down where we are..it has been a very wet snow and has not collected on the road but the mountains sure have gotten alot..glad we hadn't planned to go to glacier nationa; park as they got a foot and hald of snow the other day and we might have needed chains which we don't have...tomorrow heading east again...
