Indian Summer



Hey y'all - 

We've had the weirdest weather this month. We're surrounded by wildfires and choked by smoke. That map above is an aerial image of the Missoula area. It's awful outside, it's awful inside, and we're all dealing with respiratory issues. But at the same time, the weather is unseasonably warm and beautiful, and the smoke gives the air a warm, orange quality. 

With snowy winter just over the horizon, we can either huddle inside, taking short breaths, or we can go on outside and make the most of the last gasp of sunshine.

Some images from our recent hiking trips:
