We arrived in Missoula with the plan to drive downtown near
the University of Montana. Charlie had
been there several years before with a couple of college buddies and remembered
finding fun bars and neat restaurants.
We wandered around in the car while trying to keep our orientation to the big M on
the mountainside behind the University.
This was not at all easy, however, because the smoke from the fires in
Idaho and Washington had descended on the town.
There actually were ashes raining down on us!

We were lucky enough to arrive in Missoula on
the first day of their Roots Festival.
Downtown there was a section of streets closed to traffic and where
merchants of food, drink, and crafts had set up tents and were offering their goods. We decided on a polish sausage for
dinner, not the best choice because it lacked the grilled onions and bell
peppers that we enjoyed at Baltimore’s Polish festivals when we were in college
at Towson. But there was some fun bluegrass
entertainment. Great time and totally
serendipity. Loved it.
Stay tuned for the video that will
be inserted here when I have
decent signal strength!
