Crow Car Show
Eugene, Oregon
At the car show with my 8 year old grandson I was trying to explain to him why a supercharged flathead V8 motor was truly a beautiful thing. Oh, and I love the Moon Eyes!

A chopped & channeled 1931 Ford sedan, with what appears to be a 59A Ford Flathead providing the power. It has Edelbrock finned aluminum heads and three Stromerg 97 carburetors. Old school all the way, including the wide whitewalls. Photographed at the Amboy Depot Days Car Show, 2015.
'34 Ford Coupe street rod, photographed at the Amboy Depot Days Car Show, 2013. A Ford Flathead V8, with Offenhauser aluminum heads, and 2 - deuces, supplies the power.
You choose your friends because of their good quality attributes, their dependancy, good sense of humour, joint interests, support and MOST important of all the fact that they have a cabin on Flathead Lake and a cracking speedboat to go with it!!!!
After helping Craig clean out all the spiders who had wintered in the boat Mark and I get taken for a test spin before the ladies got a chance to join in.
Cheers Craig for yet another great stay on the lake.

This spot a few miles east of West Glacier would be a fine place to see a train on the BNSF Railroad. Unfortunately, no train came during my brief pause here.
Flathead Lake (Salish: člq̓etkʷ) is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River in the contiguous United States, taking Red Lake (Minnesota) and Lake of the Woods to be north of the Mississippi River, rather than west of the river. With a surface area of between 191.5 sq mi (496 km2) and 197 sq mi (510 km2), Flathead Lake is slightly larger than Lake Tahoe. The lake is a remnant of the ancient, massive glacial dammed lake, Lake Missoula of the era of the last interglacial. Flathead Lake is 27.3 mi (43.9 km) long and up to 15.5 mi (24.9 km) wide. Flathead lake has a maximum depth of 370.7 ft (113.0 m), and an average of 164.7 ft (50.2 m). This makes Flathead lake deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea or the Persian Gulf. Polson Bay, at the lake's outlet was raised 10 ft (3.0 m) by Kerr Dam. It is one of the cleanest in the populated world for its size and type.
Tantilla gracilis
Adult from Union County, Illinois. A rare and secretive snake species which had not been recorded in southern Illinois since the 1950s until a few years ago.
Flathead County. The Hungry Horse post office building, pictured in 2017. Northeast of Kalispell along Highway 2, near Glacier National Park, Hungry Horse began as a construction camp for workers building the nearby Hungry Horse Dam on the South Fork of the Flathead River. The Hungry Horse name has been applied to the town, a creek, a mountain and a dam; it's origins lie in a story about two horses lost for a month in deep snow near the South Fork. A post office was first established at Hungry Horse in 1948 (May 16) with Ellis Strong as postmaster. Since 1981 (August 8), the office has operated as a CPO of Columbia Falls.
Largest lake west of the Great Lakes, home of the Flathead Indians. The 2 hour drive around the lake is scenic and complete with good, if not great, Mexican food in Polson, Mt. The north end of the lake had Big Fork which is a quaint little, but likeable, tourist trap.
