When I first came through Polson, it was not long after I moved to the Flathead Valley from Los Angeles.  There is a MacDonald&#8217;s here that has an even better view.  It was astonishing, coming from L.A. where a view like this would command $Millions.  <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"Large\" href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/May09\/P20548Park.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/May09\/P20548ParkW.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"\" height=\"427\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px\" title=\"\" class=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looking from Polson, northwest towards where the RV park is located.<\/p>\n<p>Polson is on the south end of Flathead Lake and the southern end of the Flathead Valley.  Polson&#8217;s position on the lake often leads to warmer and milder weather than around and north of the lake.   Although there are some condo and housing developments on the lake, there are also some wonderful older neighborhoods and a lot of public access as well as a public marina.  The main highway stays close to the lake and the majority of the hotels and restaurants are of the diner and motel vintage.  I don&#8217;t know how long it might stay this way, but I enjoy the mostly low key mix that this area has at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"Large\" href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/May09\/P20550Awning.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/May09\/P20550AwningW.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"\" height=\"427\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px\" title=\"\" class=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After our grocery run, I set up the office outside and write this afternoon, <em>From Under the Awning<\/em> ;) !<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"Large\" href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/May09\/P20553Clouds.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/May09\/P20553CloudsW.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"\" height=\"427\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px\" title=\"\" class=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked a bit, walked a bit and watched the clouds pile up against the mountains, but so far, it is blue sky over the lake and the valley.
