It’s a wrap for Missoula!

Nestled in the backyard of the “great outdoors,” Montana is an incredibly happy place to be. Parking lot attendants, radio personalities and downtown shop owners treated us the same way: with a twinkle in their eye and a flash of their carefree smile. I think the crew was unanimously looking forward to this stop, originally for its environmental setting, but got way more than we bargained for. I remember googling “happiest cities in America” because I was sure Missoula would top the list.

Aside from the friendly locals, there were a few more highlights from our 24th tour stop:

- We recorded a pregnant woman in labor. That was a first. 12 hours in with her fourth child, but Crissy was determined to record! Watch her aha moment.

- Camping in Glacier National Park. Every year we spend at least one night camping (although not in the Airstream). After many suggestions from Missoulian locals, we chose Glacier National Park. Watch the Slice Of Americana video here.

- We also recorded Ellie, from the House of Montana Representatives, and Cynthia, a meter maid in downtown Missoula. Both have incredible stories and I was honored to interview them.

Well that makes it a wrap for our Missoula tour stop this year. Thanks to everyone who came out to record!

Oh, and here’s a couple fun appearances the Mutual of Omaha Airstream made in Missoula news!

- KPAX TV

- The Missoulian

Wishing I could go back to that big blue sky,
