This is a scene taken near Kalispell, MT. The mountains across the lake are the Mission Mountains. I wish the sun would have been shining...these images would be so much prettier! Oh well...it's ok! Have a nice evening everyone. Sam will be home tonight...I'm glad as I do not like being alone! :)
When you look up the color blue in the dictionary...a picture of Flathead Lake is next to it! LOL...boy was it one beautiful blue lake this day with the sun shining and a big blue sky!!! :) Please view in light box for a real treat!
Hope everyone is doing well! Have a wonderful evening! ♥
A Flathead from Cyberpunk 2077. A lot of Bricklink U-Clips and Monopods will have to be used for this one :)
A relative of a relative has this truck on their farm. It is really solid and restorable, ran when parked. I'm not supposed to divulge the location, but I'm sure my phone has done that.

Packard was still considered the finest Automobile one could buy in the US in 1951.
The Packard Mayfair shown here was an entry in the hardtop Coupe segment, riding on Packard's junior wheelbase, but with a higher level of trim. The bodystyle had become very popular, industry-wide, and the Mayfair was more reactive than proactive to the market.
The car ran Packard's aging flathead straight-eight, the V8 engine was still a few years away. The car was handsome though - two-tone paint combinations, and a playful trim design for the rear fenders.
Packard sold a total of 101,000 cars for 1951 (a small subset being the Mayfair), but trouble was only a few years away.

Very photogenic barn in the Mission Valley. Lovely sky just starting to go, but I was in a hurry to get to GNP and get camp set up before it got too dark. In retrospect, I should have stayed here and got what was probably an outstanding sunset. Sometimes we get blinders on, no?

I just love this red house...such character!!! Along Flathead Lake with Swan River running right through the town of Big Fork, MT.
On our way to Zips Place Cabin. The snow covered peaks of Glacier National Park can just barely be seen on the far left horizon, our final destination.
Highway 28, Montana.
Ran out to Big Arm State Park for the sunrise last weekend. It came later than it does in Billings, so I was up really early, just kinda waiting.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Jul 20, 2014.
**********************
In 1996 and 1997, I spent two full summers in the tiny little town of Polson, on the southern shore of Flathead Lake (the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River), and grew quite attached to the town and its surrounding mountains, rivers, and lake -- photos of which you can see here and here. You might also be interested in some of my observations about life in Polson and Montana, which I wrote about in blogs titled The Polson Parade, and Leaving Montana. But then life changed, other things intervened, and I drifted away from Montana altogether.
In the summer of 2010, I had a chance to re-visit Polson, and spend three short days driving around to re-acquaint myself with the area. It had been over a dozen years since I was last there (not counting a brief drive-through with my younger son in 2006), so I was expecting some changes ... but in general, the town of about 5,000 people was pretty much the same. My favorite restaurant had closed down, a Mailboxes Etc outlet had been replaced by a video-rental outlet, and the local McDonald's outlet was no longer posting all of the bounced checks from desperate customers on its wall. It looked like some of the local ranchers and farmers had sold off some of their acreage, for there were a few new "vacation communities" filling up what had been open meadows and pasture just outside of town.
But the lake had not changed at all, and the Mission Mountains along the eastern shore of the lake were as pretty as ever. Just for the heck of it, I got up at 5 AM one morning, and photographed the pre-dawn stillness on the lake, and then the changing colors of clouds above the lake as the sun slowly rose up to peek over the top of the mountains. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to drive down to the Kerr Dam, and I didn't drive all the way around the north end of the lake: I only made it up to Big Fork on the eastern side, and LakeSide on the western side of the lake. I was going to take the half-day white-water rafting trip down the Flathead River, south of the dam, but there wasn't time for that, either ... Nor was there any time for fishing, or even to rent a jet-ski and zoom around on the broad expanse of water in Polson Bay, at the south end of the lake.
I took a bunch of photos throughout the visit, and you can view them here) on Flickr. And after my return from that 2010 trip, I happened to chat with a business colleague about Polson and heard some great things from him about a “dude ranch” located just outside Big Fork, right on the shore of the lake. It was the Flathead Lake Lodge, and after a few more years of distractions and delays, I managed to get most (but not all) of my family together for a weeklong vacation at the lodge. The weather was great, the food was delicious, the horses were cooperative, the lake was beautiful … and that’s pretty much what you’ll see in the photos that I’ve put into this album.
Enjoy … and, if you get the chance, gather your own family together and take them out to the Flathead Lake Lodge for a week. You won’t regret it!

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, west of the continental divide and just south of the Canadian border, lies the 2.4 million acre Flathead National Forest in Montana. Home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout; with numerous lakes, streams, and rivers to enjoy, the forest is the premiere destination for visitors looking to experience natural landscapes of the American West.

This lake is named after a Belgian priest, Father DeSmet, who came to Wyoming in 1840 as a missionary to the Flathead Indians. It is located on the east end of the Bighorns and is the largest lake in the Sheridan-Johnson counties region. Year-round fishing is excellent, with brown and rainbow trout, rock bass and yellow perch all living in the lake.

This Altered Sedan was in the pit area at the 2016 Meltdown Drags, Byron, Illinois. There were a number of Ford Flathead powered dragsters here, and some ran really strong.

This scene was taken right across the highway from the colored ice that I posted. This is the shaded side and I think that is why this area is so cold and frozen. Do you see the train tunnel on the side of the mountain? The mountains in the background are actually in Glacier National Park. Have a great day everyone!!! :) Large view is nice!
