Finally getting into gear with the plans for Montana. Still trying to
figure out where to spend a couple of days leading up to the official

start

date, but think it's narrowed down to one of three:

1 . Cut over to Idaho by Henry's Fork (heeding the warning of the

National

Park traffic).
2. Do some fishing around Jackson Hole for a day before slowly making my
way up through Yellowstone NP Friday Night (disregarding all warning to

take

in a few parks I have never seen).
3. Meeting up with whoever is already in town and exploring either
aimlessly, or with the expertise of someone who has some.

FYI for fellow travelers, just got a very good price on a SUV from the
8th-17th for $330 (unlimited mileage). Doesn't sound cheap, but checked

out

Expedia, Travelocity, and a few other options and couldn't find anything
under $500 for the same period.
