Hi all,
THIS WEEK’S FUN RUN STARTS AT 6:00 PM and will be at Lindley Park. We will start at the Pavilion. We’ll have a 1, 3, and 5 mile course. Only two more runs then our annual meeting! We’ve got some great participation awards this year that we’ll give out at the annual meeting and you need to run 10 times and time 2 to qualify.
Thanks to James Childre our newsletter editor and Tomas Dumbrovsky for getting our newsletter out. To read it on line go to:

Hi all,
Thanks to Jackie McGuire for hosting last week’s potluck. Everyone had a great time and thanks to everyone for bringing all of the good food.
A quick reminder here that tomorrow’s (Wednesday) Fun Run will be at Hyalite Reservoir, and starts at 6:30 pm. We’ll have a 1, 3, and 5 mile option all on trails. Head up to Hyalite Reservoir and go to the parking area just west of the dam. I think they have made improvements to the trail and widened it out.
I sound like a broken record, but the John Colter Run is two weeks from Saturday. I think we are pretty much ready with just some set up and fine tuning to do before the run. It promises to be an outstanding run this year with river crossings, bbq, live music, great prizes and lots of comradery! Sign up on Race Montana.
I went to help my father rob and extract honey this week. My photo shows a full frame of capped honey being cut with a hot knife just before it goes into the honey extractor. The honey is spun out, flows into a series of weirs, or clarifier, and then pumped into a large stainless steel container where it is poured into jars and buckets. All of the good microbes stay in the honey this way.
See you on Wednesday!
Daryl
