A scene captured while getting close to St. Regis Montana. This is a pretty big river. It empties into Flathead Lake. I've always heard that Flathead Lake is the largest fresh water lake this side of the Mississippi.
Have a nice day all...back to work! :P
Seen at the 17th annual Unfinished Nationals car show at the Grays Harbor Country Fairgrounds in Elma, Washington on August 29, 2009. The idea for this meet is bringing your unfinished cars and trucks.
A few of these bikes I’ve posted since Thursday have been in magazines such as Greasy Kulture, BSH, 13 etc etc .
Amtrak's Empire Builder follows the Middle Fork Flathead River along the south border of Glacier Park. I took this on October 5, 2006 while traveling to Essex, the next stop, where the Izaak Walton Inn is located.

Three o'clock, this morning, I woke up in a dream.
Thought I heard a flathead motor roar, I thought I smelled gasoline.
A feeling came upon me, that I ain't had in years.
Something like a hot dry wind, whistling past my ears.
Saying "time, time, time is all you got".
There's a memory that's still burning, way down in my mind.
And that's why, I'm going out and trying, a flathead one more time.
I ain't seen my racing buddies in thirty years, or more.
One by one I lost them, out on the dry lake floor.
We learnt to push those flathead cars as hard as they could go.
Just like old Whiskey Bob, down on Thunder Road.
I hear their voices calling, just across the finish line.
And that's why, I'm going out and trying, a flathead one more time.
I'll get back to you baby, don't you have no fear.
'Cos I been there, and I wrecked that, and baby I'm still here.
But I can't take you with me, when I cross the finish line.
And that's why, I'm going out and trying, a flathead, one, more, time.
Time, time, time is all you got.

Seen at the Steel-in-Motion show in Shelby, NC. This is a fantastic Pre-1970 car and bike show at the Shady Side Dragway.
More Steel-in-Motion pictures as well as the non-HDR versions over at Smugmug!

OHV conversion or maybe just a head cover, though that doesn't seem practical for a flathead engine's cooling. I notice how the spark plug wires are routed inside it. Stephens, Denver Colorado
Speedy Bill Smith bought used speed equipment from racers in the early years as they moved on to something better. He started a business selling it which grew to the big retail business it is today, Speedway Motors.
- Day Three -
The day started off a bit rainy and cloudy, but cleared up as we checked out some antique stores in the area. The sun began to shine through and we ended up having a gorgeous boat tour of Flathead Lake!

If hot rod engines get your attention then you need to visit this museum, Lincoln, Nebraska
This sits inside a 1929 Model A Roadster sitting on a 1932 frame. Ford V8 Flathead, Navarro heads, 3 Stromberg 97 carburetors with progressive linkage, 3-speed manual transmission on the column and rumble seat. Built, owned and driven by the famous Ermie Immerso. This was a really nice looking car up close, it sold for $27,500.00.
It was a perfectly still day for fishing. Sure enough, the bay was flat when we arrived at Rosebud at about 8am.
Raymond was the first to strike gold with his octopus! He caught it on a fish-shaped lure with a shrimp for good measure :)
Julia's dad went next with a good-sized flathead. All of us got at least one fish for a total of nine flathead, all around 27cm to 28cm, and one octopus. All this in around 2 hours.
Cleaning them is another tough job, although the flathead slime did help to keep the fine scales from flying all over the kitchen. I did find some roe in one of the fish though :)

Glacier National Park is a national park located in Montana, on the Canada-United States border with the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. The park encompasses over 1,000,000 acres and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centerpiece of what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent Ecosystem," a region of protected land encompassing 16,000 square miles.
The region that became Glacier National Park was first inhabited by Native Americans and was dominated by the Blackfeet in the east and the Flathead in the western regions. Soon after the establishment of the park on May 11, 1910, a number of hotels and chalets were constructed by the Great Northern Railway. These historic hotels and chalets are listed as National Historic Landmarks, and a total of 350 locations are on the National Register of Historic Places. By 1932, work was completed on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, later designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, which provided greater accessibility for automobiles into the heart of the park.

"Flathead catfish are considered invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay; blue catfish have rapidly expanded into nearly every major tributary in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and flatheads are becoming more of an issue in lower-salinity tributaries. Scientists are researching how and why these catfish are spreading so rapidly."
Now the only thing missing was the train going over this bridge!! Well this is Calen's last day...don't think I could make it much longer....aughhh! lol :)
Have a wonderful Monday!
Because of the CA wildfires and the dry weather, clouds were scarce on our trip. But when we were on Wild Horse Island on Flathead Lake, the lake itself provided the makings for nice cloud formations.
