I live in Bozeman. Moved here from TN. Come to a MSU Bobcats game! It's a hoot and we have a couple of other Vols at our tailgate.

If you want to exchange contact info, I will leave my e-mail address up long enough for you to do so.

Same invitation is extended to you, NEVolFan. Glacier has long been my favorite destination in all of the Rocky Mountain West and it would be nice to have a fellow Big Orange fan to touch base with when we are in the area.

I want to thank our Orange-clad warriors for an outstanding performance and parting gift. This is the last Tennessee football game I will watch as a resident of the Volunteer State. My devotion to Big Orange football will not diminish one iota but, effective Thursday, October 18, we will begin our move to Montana. Fortunately, I have already established contact out there with one fellow Volunteer fan, Montana Tenn, and, as soon as we establish residence, I will continue to contribute to this board, albeit as a newly established resident of Big Sky Country.

Congratulations on the move. I’ve enjoyed a number of your posts about that part of the country. Second and last time I was in Glacier Park was late September 1976 on a motorcycle trip after graduating from UT that summer. Next weekend making a quick trip to Colorado to join an old buddy I grew up with, who has never seen the Rockies and doesn’t have much time left.

If you can survive being a vol fan, you can handle winter in a Montana.

Welcome to the high, wide and handsome state. You’ll find there are more of us here than one would think.

Billings, at least for the first year. Once they get past October, they are actually calling for a fairly mild winter by Montana standards, if the El Nino projections hold up.

We flew into Billings a month ago en route to visiting friends in Red Lodge for a week. The weather was perfect. Tonight, it’s going down to 17° there.....brrr

That whole area is Beautiful. Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish, etc. About 15 years ago, I saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band play live on the 18th hole fairway at Meadowlake Resort during some festival.

It is quite possible that we were there at the same time. If I had to ballpark guess after all of these years, I would say that I visited Glacier during the 23rd-26th of September, 1976. Unfortunately, there was a fatal grizzly mauling in Many Glacier Campground on either the day of my arrival or immediately prior to or after that date.

A friend and I who made that trip together were camping in Apgar Campground that week. The incident you mentioned happened that same week while we were there, as you said at a different campground which was higher up in the park, three girls all killed and if I remember correctly they were from Mississippi. Our first night after setting up camp we ended up staying “by accident” in Kalispell. We went there to fetch a clutch cable for my bike but for one reason or another (the cable was late, we played too much pool, and/or drank too many beers) we didn’t make it back to camp till the next day and then discovered all our food had been eaten by a bear!

It is kind of funny that, since informing AT & T that we would be terminating our Direct TV subscription due to our move to Montana, we are already receiving local Billings network affiliates and local Montana political advertising, even on the SEC Network, despite the fact that we are still in Nashville.

I'm hoping to move to the flathead lake area in about 4 years. It can't get here soon enough. I'll take the cold winters there over Memphis anyday.
