Missoula & Flatland Lakes

---Current location road to Denali Alaska--- 6/8 We left West Glacier around 2pm and started to make our way down to Missoula. We are heading there to pick up a swing away hitch from the UPS store there.

He played with Katonah and went in the water. For those of you who know Franklin he normally avoids it like the plague. This was revolutionary 😃 .  We then said goodbye to all and headed back to the campground.
