Time on a Jet Plane
I was supposed to have a post for you today. I even have a good picture and everything. But my plane didn't get into Missoula, MT until almost 1 PM mountain time and it took an hour to get to the hotel.
I can tell you one thing, though. Even in the dark, under a layer of snow, Montana's the Bitterroot Valley is beautiful. And the drive from Missoula to Hamilton on 93 is quite lovely done by moonlight.
I hope to get a few pictures today (I'm here on business so I probably won't have too many opportunities to sight see until tomorrow) so that I can give you an idea of what the place is like. This is definitely one of those un-sung beautiful places that you don't hear about too often.
I've also got a special -- fiber related -- side trip planned before I head home. Can any of you guess where I might be planning to spend some of my afternoon tomorrow?
Oooh, Mountain Colors yarn?! That was my first "real," non-A.C. Moore yarn, so I will always think of it fondly. I'm glad you will get a fun excursion out of your business trip.
Mountain Colors, in Corvallis? That's the first thing I thought of when you said Bitterroot Valley. Luxuriate!
That's easy. Mtn Colors.
Beaverslide!
Mountain Colors ... or else you know something you'd better share with the rest of us!
You are in my old stomping grounds - I lived in Billings eight years. The Flathead area near Missoula is some of the most beautiful country in the world! Have fun and enjoy!
You have to check out Mountain Colors, but right downtown in Hamilton there is also The Yarn Center. I grew up in Missoula and my bestest buddy is currently living in Hamilton. There are 4 great yarn stores in the area...oh I am SO jealous. North Central Montana isn't nearly so lucky!
Have fun at Mountain Colors. I managed to get to The Yarn Center on my visit to the area last summer, but missed Mountain Colors. Also check out the Christmas Store in Corvallis. It is a wonder.
