Montana: bars and bison

Missoula Club, home of the Mo-burger
As promised, here are more pics from my visit to Missoula, Montana, a while ago. Missoula is a university town, which means there have to be enough bars to go around for everyone who wants their own. I'm starting off today with a selection of them. I'll get the rest of them on my next visit.

After that are photos taken during a Sunday morning visit to the National Bison Range, which is some 40 miles north of Missoula. The buffalo were out grazing that day by the hundreds.

    Every time I go to the Bison Range, I never see the beasts. Nice pictures. I chuckled over "processed grass." Thanks for the post.

    You have beautifully caught western Montana. Missoula is a sort of cultural island, exotic in a biscuits and gravy state.

    I very much like “longest current winning streak” as a tiebreaker in theory, but I think SOS issues are likely to make it tough in practice. 소액결제현금화
