I ride old Paint. Well, not real old.  The city of Missoula commissioned the building of a brand new carousel in 1995.  A local wood worker, with the help of a bunch of volunteers, carved 38 ponies (one is actually a dragon).  I rode Paint.  I grabbed a bunch of rings too but the brass ring went to a youngster….probably appropriate!

Big Dipper Ice Cream

They serve locally made and absolutely delicious ice cream: Irish Brownie for Kent and Cardamom for me.

Catch a wave. In Montana?

We watched from the Higgins Street Bridge as a number of locals surfed Brennan Wave on the Clark Fork River that runs right through town.
