Still in Florence...

We ended up extending our stay in Florence for a couple of nights, so we're still here! We were only planning to stay for 2 nights, but that's turning into 4 nights. Tuesday afternoon we took a drive through the backcountry of Montana through a place called Elk Meadows and up to Lolo Pass, which separates Montana from Idaho. It was gorgeous. We were escorted by Pat, Laurie and the kids Wyatt and Jack. We had dinner at a cute place on the river called Lochsa Lodge. Wednesday we hung out in the morning at the house and then went into Missoula for lunch and to see the town. We had a nice relaxing dinner on the deck. Today (Thursday) we're headed out on the Bitterroot River to float on a raft with Pat. We're heading out tomorrow morning to Glacier and leaving the Winters family to get back to their regular lives. They've been great hosts.
