Missoula to Kalispell

Another very early morning after a very late night.

A fairly simple, but very long day. Drove a couple of hours north to a little place called Kalispell, past a huge lake called Flathead Lake. I wonder if they have any flathead fish there...

Checked in early to the motel then went across the road to a camera store that burns images to cd. Unlike the "big name" stores, they don't have a limit to the number of images you can put onto a cd. The only limit is that it'll only burn one memory card. So I'll fill up the three 512mb memory cards I have and burn them for $5 each. It actually works out cheaper than burning a full 700mb for $10.

After lunch we headed up to the Glacier National Park. Another very pretty national park with lots of lakes and mountains and snow. Took quite a few photos, but not a ridiculous number. I have this sneaking suspicion that when we get to Canada we're going to be thinking "yep, that's another mountain" or "yep, that's another lake".

I now have 25 out of the 50 state quarters which I'm collecting. Unfortunately tomorrow we head into Canada for two weeks which is going to interrupt collecting somewhat :( Maybe I'll have to get them on ebay or something.

The other thing I found today was a kilo of Jelly Bellys for $12US. How good value is that? In Australia you'd pay a minimum of $25AUD per kilo I reckon. Bought a pack, if I see them again I may stock up.

Anyways, gotsta start sorting photos onto memory cards, and no local internet tonight.

Disaster!! Just accidently formatted today's photos. Not happy Jan!!!!!

Not such a disaster. Using a piece of software Tim from work bought last year to recover images.. not sure it's getting everything, but certainly a decent majority. I can breathe again. And spend hours sorting out which pic is which.
