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 wilderness 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, northwest of Missoula.
This
now gives some hope that maybe this great beast is still existing in the
2001
wilderness. Missoula bear biologist Chuck Jonkel is going into the
wilderness
now to see if he can find others. If he does find more bears this
could
help move legislation to further protect this great wilderness area.
The
StudioClub takes it hat off to Mr. Jonkel and his group of volunteers
who
are going deep into the wilderness to find if more of these great
animals
still exist, and begin movements to further protect them. |
