We met up with Shirley (The candy store & newspaper lady) this morning.  She gave us the newspaper in West Yellowstone that led us to Phillipsburg.

Flathead reservation mountain view

We headed for Missoula, MT  about 70 miles north and stopped for gas and lunch.  We ate at the Wheat Montana Bakery and Deli – first restaurant we had seen where they sell 50 and 100lb bags of flour along with sandwiches and muffins.

Leaving I90, we caught US89 North through the Flathead Reservation towards Polson, MT a beautiful community on the shores of Flathead Lake.

Multi-language signs

We wondered about the Flatheads and wondered if they might be the Indians who strapped their babies to a flat board to carry them on their backs.  No one we encountered seemed to know.

Eagle Nest office

We loaded up on provisions at the local Wal-Mart before checking in at the Eagle Nest RV Resort in Polson.  Eagle Nest is an exceptional RV park.  All the facilities are absolutely first class, the staff friendly and they have a meet & greet hour on the lawn every afternoon at 4:30.

Golf view from campground

Mary sheered my locks and we did laundry before turning in for the night.
