Circumnavigation of Flathead Lake

Yesterday the wife and I complete a circumnavigation of Flathead Lake by motor vehicle. The forecast predicted sunshine and mid 40's, but we got cloudy and mid 30's. It still felt nice to get out but not worth trying to fish. (I still took a few brisk casts)
 This picture is for you pa.
The area around the lake is known for its delicious cherries. They have little stands everywhere where you can buy fresh cherries to snack on while you fish!
 Some spots right off the lake are in the mountains with a great view over the lake.
This spot would have been so much more neat if it was sunny!
 This pic reminded my of my buddy Jeremy! It is on the Flathead Reservation on the south side of the lake. We made a brief spurt from our circumnavigation to check out the Mission Mountains. If you see them on a sunny day they are magnificent.
 The clouds parted just long enough to give us a glimpse of the dramatic Missions. On the other side of this range is the Swan Valley, home of the Swan River. From the valley you fish between two scenic mountain ranges!
 This lake is cool!
We drove by the museum on the south side of the lake and had to turn around. We didn't stop in but maybe next time. We had fun but next time I'll have to fish more!
