Hi Russ,

One of my best friends just moved to Polson, MT last week. Is that anywhere near you?

BTW...how can you put "35" and nice in the same paragraph?

Hi IJR. Polson is fairly close by Montana standards, just like 35 is "nice". Polson is 6 1/2 hours away, so not too far. It's right on Flathead Lake, a gorgeous lake up north. I took our Boy Scout troop to Scout camp on Flathead this year and Polson was our last civilization stop. You will definitely want to be visiting your friend. Polson is only an hour or two away from Glacier National Park which is an amazing place.

As for 35 being nice, it's a nice temp! Not so cold that I need extra layers. Thin gloves and a thin hat on top with tights on the legs. What's not to love? The high on Saturday will be 17 with the low 5. I just might run on the treadmill.

Thanks for the information...as I'm sure you noticed I was too lazy to look at a map :-) I do plan to visit my friend but it will most definitly be in the SUMMER!

It makes me cold just thinking about those temperatures :-(

Maybe you can watch a good movie while running on the dreadedmill.
