Hi Sapperman ... and thank you much for telling me about the Flathead Valley and all

(and you were very nice to say nothing about my "Flatlands" typo... ah, my brain should be rebuilt methinks
Wow, the ways you describe it all make it sound amazing and wonderful to see

Ah, if only I were able and mobile I'd go exploring the areas surrounding this community!
I used to know a guy (casually) in Nelson whose job it was to study grizzlies. I forget his name now, but seem to remember we had some very interesting conversations about "his work". He really loved and admired the grizzlies. They really are incredible creatures!
Karmen.
