Rained all day today, so didn't do a whole lot and took no
pictures. There's not much to do on a rainy day in
Missoula. I went to the city's art museum, and the exhibit space
was entirely filled with a photojournalistic expose on the dangers of
asbestos. A nearby town with an asbestos mine is now a superfund
site. But asbestos is all-natural, so it must be good for you.
Day 41 - 5/12/04
Missoula, MT to Seeley Lake, MT
55 miles
A grey, cloudy, cold day, but had a pretty good ride
nevertheless. People are very friendly in this part of the
country. Had dinner and a few beers at a place called the Filling
Station in Seeley Lake. Met a couple who are moving up to
Fairbanks next week, and they were pretty excited about it.
Apparently dog-sledding is popular here in Montana, so they have eight
sled dogs they're taking up with them. Very nice lady working at
the bar, Jane, who is originally from Scotland. Her favorite
Scottish joke:
What's the difference between a Mick Jagger and a Scotsman? Mick
Jagger says, "Hey you, get off of my cloud", and a Scotsman says "Hey
McCloud, get off of my ewe."
