[Magdalen] Where to go?

[Jay Weigel]

​Everyone's talking Maine, Quebec, and the Maritimes. For another
consideration, I would offer the mountains and Big Sky Country of Montana,
Wyoming, and Colorado and even the western Dakotas, if you haven't been
there. That would be best as a summer trip, and I don't know if we have any
pubmates there​ nowadays. It's amazing country, though. My brother lives in
the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, about an hour south of Missoula, and I am
dying to go rockhounding out there......
