Another beautiful day in Montana! The sun has been shining brightly all day. This morning we drove up to Missoula to watch Michel take off in his F-18. It was a wonderful sight and sound, that brought back many memories of our days in the Air Force. After Mickey and Carole showed us around Missoula, including their old house there, and the University of Montana.
We also toured the Big Sky Brewery. For those of you not in the "know", this brewery is home of the following labels: Moose Drool, Honey Bear, Old Blue Hair, and Ivan the Terrible Stout to name a few (see labels below).
On our way back to Anaconda, we went through Phillipsburg. It is a small, picturesque, restored former turn-of-the-century mining town. We had a wonderful ice cream cone at the local soda fountain and enjoyed visiting with the proprietor. Of interest were a couple of local events that take place during Montana's summer season. One is called "Maggottfest" and the second is the "Testicle Festival." I've included a pic of the signs advertising the events just in case anuone should want to attend. Mickey says he's never attended, but the "Testicle Festival" is a particularly wild shindig. I wonder why???
