Rosie (not her real name), our waitress at Popâs Place in Seeley Lake served a hearty breakfast just as we like it. Sometimes waiters canât help but join in the mealtime conversation. We were discussing guns and carrying permits of various parts of our country. She mentioned her 22 caliber pistol and I asked âis that your purse gun?ââŠshe replied âno, itâs my bra gunâ – ok then.
The 57 mile ride into Missoula seemed easier – we had a lot of downhills and maybe a tailwind. I was appreciative. In Missoula we stopped at Big Sky Bikes to get Bobâs bike fixed (it had a bent spring in the hub and needed a different type of lubrication).
As previously agreed, we checked into a fine hotel (Motel 6) and searched for the best pizza in town. Biga Pizza was not a disappointment. We were discussing the difference between Univ. of Montana in Missoula and Montana State Univ. in Bozeman. Our waitress said her decision boiled down toâŠâare you more hippie or cowboy?â
So, what was the verdict on the bridge; higher load bearing on the old or the new?
Love these updates an pictures Mike. Keep em coming! Looks like youâre have a great trip.
Does the dinosaur qualify mike as a cowboy?
I can only imagine the Walmart shooting crisis, and the woman reaching for her bra pistol. The mind boggles.
