I’m sitting here listening to the near constant roar of motorcycles driving by today.  Hell’s Angels are in town this weekend for their annual gathering.  This year it’s in Missoula.  I can’t decide whether I want to walk around town and check things out or get out of town entirely.  I’ll probably do a little of both.  I’ll probably walk around a bit early this evening.  It’ll probably be pretty quiet since the majority of Angels won’t be here yet and I’ll be avoiding all the drinking establishments.  Then, tomorrow, I’ll be heading up to Glacier for at least a night…probably two.  I’ll get back into town on Sunday when things are beginning to quiet down.  I don’t really think things will be that bad.  From what I’ve read, the gang usually doesn’t cause many problems and are pretty well-behaved, but occasionally there are exceptions.  And actually, from what I understand, the last time they were in Missoula in 2000, it was the police that got a little out of hand with the locals.  The chief of police ended up getting fired because of it.  Apparently, the gang can cause problems even when they’re behaving.

So this weekend, I’ll be avoiding either Hell’s Angels or grizzly bears.  Which is worse?
