I am sitting here looking around for things to do for the Labor day Weekend...I have already did the Gulf of Mexico on a super fishing trip..So thats out....this is considered to most the last chance for a summer vacation. So im taking 5 days to take advantage..only thing is I have no idea where to go or what to do???Any thoughts of things to do in your area's that are family oriented?? Thanks |
Ya, the economy sucks the big one. Unfortunately i am only here for a couple of more years.  What do you do for work A2sights? |
Petroleum Engineering student at Montana Tech The #2 college in the states for Petroleum engineering. I'm gonna drill some oil wells!!   ETA: Hence the screenname

| I was up there toward the end of June last year. Stayed outside of Missoula off Rock Creek Road, in Lolo Nat'l Forest in a B&B with the wife. We did lots of hiking, went to Glacier twice (awesome park), went to Garnett Ghost town, panned for saphires like total tourists in Phillipsburg, ate a lot, and visited the coolest gun shop ever up there. It was called Axmen Firearms in Missoula. Great store, lots of guns and nice people. Now I'm really sad................. |
If ya ever get the hankerin to come back, let me know and we will go shoot some stuff up on about 800 acres of private property. |
It'll also make him real prosperous. Good major. The Spice must flow. |
I have been to Lolo...that to me is without a doubt the most beautiful place on earth...to far for a short trip...havent decided on flying or driving yet...it is the weekend beforeand my wife don't like to fly anyway...I would definatly love to live in that area...it s on my " AND IF I WIN THE LOTTERY" list.. |

I know you've BTDT, but a weekend at Gulf schores is always nice. Now, when you go through the tunnel eastbound on I-10, then cross the bay, as you get across the bay you can see that lttle seafood place off to the right, facing west across the bay...what's it called? Take the family to eat there. Yeah, that sounds fun to me. |
HAHAHAHAAA!!!! That's wear us Montanans go for vacationing, because we are already at the greatest spot for vacationing in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!! Ok, so its just an opinion, so what? |
|
Colorado has some great national parks as well, but Montana is much better because there isn't some big assed, more money than God aspen type town around every turn of the corner. The folks up here, crazy as they may be (see: unabomber), still make their living the hard way. There is like 1/100th the people in the winter and summer months too. |
what part of MT are you in?got an extra 4 bunks? |
Damn, i was hoping someone wouldn't ask that question. I live in Butte. It is a shit hole of a town. It's an old mining town that went downhill. My favorite chinese resturant used to be an old brothel!!! I love it though, but i am not a city person. Extra 4 bunks? hell you can rent a house up here for next to nothing. In fact, there is a house down the street right now that has 3 bed rooms and is fully furnished for like $450 a month. And it is one of the nicer ones too! |

I'd have to say i have succesfully hi-jacked this thread. Gunsforhire--- Butte isn't a bad place to stay for a week, as hotels are cheap (usually). Its close to alot of things to do. Fishing Hunting Camping Hiking Snowmobiling---(renting too.) Skiing Just about whatever you would want to do in the mountains. |
| I have been to Butte...it seemed nice to me..dont remember much as I only stopped to go to the Post office..then I was on up the interstate to the Prison to serve an extradition warrant..So it wasn't much of a vacation at the time...Seemed like a quiet little town and nice place to live...correct me if Im wrong but it is pretty much in central MT right?When does the snow set in?? |
I agree totally...I would be content with a cabin, fishing pole and small stream or pond...My better half wants the other side of the spectrum.. then there is my kids ...maybe i'll send them off and I can vacation here at home...maybe hit the gun show circus around the states locally....NOW THERES AN IDEA.. |
