Riding downhill at Big Mountain

Today we headed out to Big Mountain Ski Resort for a little downhill mountain biking! The resort is in Whitefish, Montana. The scenery and mountain were spectacular. About 1/2 way through our 8 mile downhill run, they had a skills park. It was not in the best of shape but was fun to play around on some of the stunts. Laura even got into the stunts.

Here are some photos form the ride:







After lunch it was starting to look like rain, so we opted out of doing another run. We are definitely going to go back to Big Mountain before we leave on Sunday. On the way back to the campground we stopped at a rafting center to inquire about rafting trips. We are going to try and do a half day raft through Glacier before we leave.

In the afternoon, one of our neighbors knocked on our door and asked me repair his windshield on his coach and his tow car. Later in the day, I sold some No-Wet. We just paid for our rafting trip and have spending money for the week :)

We didn't get a chance to add to our trout we caught yesterday, so we went with what we had. I filleted it up and sauteed it in olive oil and lemon. The trout and steamed vegetables wasn't quite enough for dinner for 2, so we'll augment it with some popcorn later this evening. There's something really satisfying about catching and preparing your own dinner :) We'll be trying our luck in the trout pond again before we leave here!

Boy, we've a lot to do before we leave!
