Went North from Salmon to Missoula and up into the Flathead Indian Reservation...not many Indians around here...mostly white folks with their boats and their trailers. Spent two nights in Big Fork, Montana...lovely little tourist town on the largest natural fresh water lake West of the Mississippi - Flathead Lake - on Saturday afternoon I could see one boat on the lake (ok weather was crappy)...on Sunday there were a few more.
