Great Falls Rivers (Lewistown, Libby, Big Timber: how much, transfer to, living in)

[AKS]

Can a person swim in the rivers in Great Falls without getting swept away not that wouldn't be a hoot but who wants to walk 50 miles back like the kootinia...I know I spelled it wrong,

Absolutely.

You can swim, boat, float, water ski, and jet ski, right here in Great Falls..... and "no".... you won't be swept away.

All ya gotta do is let me know when you get here.
Visit my weblog and click on the "Contact GiftShoppeGuy" link (lower right). right below, Great Falls Links.

Who knows?
You might even know some of my family currently living in Libby....

If you haven't been to Great Falls in a while, you might be pleasantly surprised at how much things have changed... all for the better of course.
And, if you're coming in from Oregon, you'll be amazed at just how little it costs to live here.

I may be able to transfer to our Great Falls Office and wanted to ask you about the wind. I have heard some real horror stories on 50 to 70 mile an hour winds, is this true? Nothing else bothers me but since my main hobby is fishing in any kind of weather I have a hard time when its windy.

thanks
Diane

Needless to say, the wind does blow. For instance, it may blow harder in Browning than in Great Falls, or harder in Great Falls than in Lewistown, or, vise versa.....

The only time the wind blows consistantly here is when there is a changing of a season (winter to spring, fall to winter) and during periods of chinook.

The wind has never really ever interupted any of my fishing trips though, and truth be known?... The wind blows harder and more frequently through the Big Timber and Yellowstone Basin areas than it ever has, or does, here in Great Falls.
