    OK, actually need to learn how to use this phones camera. Probably should've left the dslr at home now. Anyways, still 4g, but much better campsite. Probably try to find a lake in the Pintlers tomorrow and not drop the phone in.

    what were you trying to find? Rainbows?

    Oh by the way I have another location you should check out we found last year. You can bike to this lake then fish it, bike down and camp. I'll PM you

    Would rather find cutthroat up there. And thanks for the info!


    Anyways, spent a couple days fishing. Caught brooks, browns, cutbows, westslope cutts, and whitefish here. Nothing too big, but plenty of action.

    Then found my way to missoula. Need to do laundry and get some work done anyways, but got a ride in this morning on Marshall mountain. Trails were rad but the fire road climb sucked. At least I'm #69 on the leader board for a trail called Bjorn again. Perfect. :rofl:

    Didn't account for the fact the library would be closed yesterday. So found some creeks instead.

    Thanks!

    Already caught a fish by camp this morning, found an awesome road to explore, and there's more day to come. :thumbsup:

    I thought that beer looked familiar. I took this picture 3 years ago up in glacier. Must be a photogenic can...

    Attempted an epic birthday ride. What I got was an ass kicking. Only did 3200ft of vert out of 4900 and that was in only 4.5 miles of very difficult climbing with lots of hike a bike. Guess I need to try again at the end of my trip when I'm hopefully in better shape.

    Hey @Squeaky Penguin long time creeper here, but gotta jump in since you're just down the road. Was Ward clear of trees? I can recommend a few other trails if you're sticking around and if thats the kinda terrain you're lookin for
