Road stop - Lincoln

The freestones are all blown here in western Montana.  This scenario brings on one of Montana's largest human migration as every flyfisher, guide, and dude head over to the flyfishing insurance plan know as the Missouri River. The trip over from Missoula is one of my favorite drives to make.  There are two ways to go and I love them both.  The shortest way is to take the ancient "road to the buffalo" or Hwy. 200 up through the Blackfoot Valley, through Potomac, Ovando, and Lincoln and then, over Rogers Pass.  On the other side you take a right down one of the most beautiful stretches of highway you'll ever drive called "Tom and Pat Matsko Bluebird Trail Highway" down to Wolf Creek. There are many place to stop but if your in a hurry to get on the water or get home after a long trip, the Shake 'N' Burger in Lincoln is the perfect pit-stop.

You have to supply your own beer but there is a movie rental shop in the back and lots of good boat parking.
