MISSOULA TO KALISPELL May 3, 2009

Another early start today as we got away about noon but it was okay as we did not have a long drive. We did take the scenic drive by heading back to Hwy 200 and taking it 33 miles north east where it merged with highway 83 which took us most of the way to Kalispell. The drive was very nice as it wound through the mountains and followed Swan River all the way to Salmon Lake. The weather was not very co-operative as it rained a good part of the way and that combined with no place to pull off we did not get many pictures.

I did, however, almost get me a Bambi. We saw a lot of deer on the drive and one jumped out right in front of us. If I had not been paying attention and seen it come out of the woods I would have broadsided it.

Some of the deer we saw along the way.

We arrived in Kalispell around 5PM and discovered we had booked ourselves into a nice little campsite. The two pictures are the view out of our camper.

This is the Flathead River.
