Weekend of Activities

So the Bitterroot and Potomac Valleys are wonderful places in Montana. The farmer's market was filled with an assortment of live music, arts and crafts, and veggies. It was a good weekend to go because it was also Art in the Park and Daly Days. Daly Days is a town celebration for their founder. There's a Daly Mansion that basically looks like a Georgian Mansion that was just plopped down in the middle of the Bitterroot Valley. Add some humidity, roaches, and more mosquitoes and you would think you were in Georgia. I was able to go to a bluegrass festival with my friend Margie. It's pretty awesome how the banjo players are able to make it look so easy when they are playing a thousand notes a minute (slight exaggeration).

Next it was up to Missoula and the Potomac Valley for the Pro Mountain Bike Race at a local ski area. The difficulty of the race was pretty amazing considering the bikers were riding up where people normally ski down. When talking to some of the spectators they were commenting on the world championships in Switzerland and how one of the bikers either participated in it or is planning on it. Pretty awesome.

Today I'm hanging out with some very cool friends. We took their dogs to the river yesterday and today we are thinking of going tubing down the river. Dependent upon the weather of course. :-) I'm still having a blast in Montana and I hope everyone gets to experience the state at some point. Love you all.
