Missoula, Montana

Missoula, Montana is where two rivers
meet and three mountain ranges come
together. The Garden City it is called,
because of the valley that it sets in...
Missoula is located in an old, glacial
lake bed, which is now cut by Clark
Fork River. The Bitterroot River feeds
into the Clark Fork on the Southwest
edge of town; the Big Blackfoot
River meets the Clark Fork River.

Over the next year we plan to bring you
more from this Montana town...we will
also get on down to Jimmy Buffett and
Ted Turner Country and on into the
beautiful Yellowstone Park.

A story this summer comes from Great Burn Wilderness, where thousands of
grizzly bears once roamed one of the greatest wildnerness areas in the U.S.
Now said to have been extinct for over 60 years. However just June this
summer a Grizzly wondered into the Ninemile Valley, norhtwest of Misoula.
This now gives some hope that maybe this great beast is still existing in the
2001 wildnerness. Missoula bear biologist Chuck Jonkel is going into the
wildnerness now to see if he can find others. If he does find more bears this
could help move legislation to further protect this great wildnerness area.
The StudioClub takes it hat off to Mr. Jonkel and his group of volunteers
who are going deep into the wildneress to find if more of these great
animals still exist, and begin movements to further protect them.
