We did make some side trips to see the Glacier Park National Airport </B></div> <div> <B>as well as some of the country outside the park. I also stopped at a Borders in Kalispell to sign my books that were in </B></div> <div> <B>stock and met the store employees. It was really cool to see so many of our Aphrosidia titles on the shelves--I noticed </B></div> <div> <B>some of Elizabeth Amber's bookmarks in copies of her books, and added my own to my titles. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Afterwards, since we couldn't see Glacier, we decided to head for the Salmon River and the Sawtooth Mountains. The </B></div> <div> <B>stop at the KOA was great, though, as we were able to catch up on laundry and I found some really cute t-shirts for the </B></div> <div> <B>grandkids. I tried loading my website but the connection wasn't strong enough, though I did catch up on some of my </B></div> <div> <B>email. Our only side trip today was to a National Bison Preserve north of Missoula, MT, near Flathead Lake.  It rained </B></div> <div> <B>off and on for most of the day. Hopefully it will clear away some of the smoke!</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1213faf0.jpg" border=0 width="575" height="431" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>We camped near Darby, MT at Lake Como. It's a resevoir and the levels this late in the season were way down, but </B></div> <div> <B>the campground was practically empty. We're enjoying the quiet of camping after the regular season ends.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="753" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 271 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="12c77f90.jpg" border=0 width="375" height="249" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Rufus does NOT like the rain!</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="12677f90.jpg" border=0 width="375" height="249" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Lake Como, near Darby, MT</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 271 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="12877f90.jpg" border=0 width="375" height="249" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="12a77f90.jpg" border=0 width="375" height="249" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Walking Rufus across the top of the dam.</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id12.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Monday, September 22, 2008"><U><IMG SRC="1aa0e0e0.gif" border=0 width="14" height="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
