Flathead Lake Sailing with 406dad
Mark Thome Posted On September 30, 2020

Flathead Lake Sailing with Kids

It is often a snarky quip to say it’s better to know a friend with a boat than to actually own a boat. Yet that only applies if the friend is incredibly nice and compassionate, particularly towards kids.

      Weekend PICKS: Thursday, July 9th thru Sunday, July 12th

- Advertisement -
  • Our Mission:The Missoula Underground is a hyper-local blog about the best the Missoula and Western Montana area has to offer: food/beverages, music, events, activities, local people and business. 

    Hyper-local means we don’t write about anything that isn't owned or locally managed or operated in the Missoula area. No corporate chains or businesses operated by investment groups from out of Montana.

    We have a growing all-volunteer team of bloggers and contributors. We’re here because we care about our beloved Missoula area and want to showcase the best of what's here and what we love to do.

    When you share our articles, you become part of a force for good in and around Missoula.

    Thanks for reading and participating in The MUG.
