Crawdads in Montana

Image
Nothing is better than enjoying an afternoon along the riverbanks of Montana. We noticed a nice looking crawdad trying to make its way to a new hiding spot recently. Crawdads, also known as crayfish , as a member of the crustacean family and found in North American. This one looked to be about 3-4 inches long and didn't seem to be afraid of us. When I showed the video to friends, most of them used the word "yummy" or "looks delicious". I personally didn't think of it as a great looking meal, but maybe they know something I don't.

Glacial Lake Missoula

Missoula, MT High Water Mark, Mt. Sentinel, Missoula Missoula, a mid-sized valley town in the Northern Rockies of Montana, has a fascinating geological history. It was part of an ancient ice age flood system over 12,000 years ago. It was known as Glacial Lake Missoula. At its highest, the water level was at 4200 feet in elevation. The remnants of these floods can still be seen today on the sides of Mt. Sentinel and Mt. Jumbo in Missoula, as well as the giant ripple marks on the Camas Prairies northwest of Missoula. I found a couple great websites about ice age floods that talks about what is known and some of the speculations about these great floods, with Glacial Lake Missoula being one.

Summer is in full swing and people are spending a lot of time in the great outdoors. Doors and windows are also being left open to allow the fresh night air to cool down the inside of our homes in the evening. It is during these times the little pesky critter we all know so well makes an appearance.  You may first hear her buzzing around or see her. You may realize she has paid you a visit when you start scratching at that tell-tale itch and see the red bumps on your exposed skin. YES! I'm talking about the mosquito! As they paid us a visit earlier this summer, my mother-in-law and I were talking about how she had so many bites and I had none. We began that age-old discussion about whether or not the mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others. She looked it up on a couple websites and the evidence does seem to show a preference by female mosquitoes when it comes to snacking on a particular person’s blood.
