I couldn't resist this extra credit self-assignment. I got some of the best pictures of the week at the Testy Fest, and I got to eat Rocky Mountain Oysters for the first time. I thought they were pretty good, but at $7.50 an order, they'll have to remain a delicacy.
The Testicle Festival happens every year at the Rock Creek Lodge about 20 miles east of Missoula. It's a biker free-for-all, but it attracts other, more mainstream folks as well. Including the dentist from Portland, Oregon, who won the Rocky Mtn. Oyster Eating Competition. He ate 49 slices in five minutes, or something like that, and then had to have a "ball off" with the man who tied him.

Great photos. Wish I had been there.
Elliot...you have found your calling. My family has a lot of connections to MT and your photos captured a lot of what we love about the place...although I have never been to the Test Fest (but I do love RMOs!). Your Guardsman blog also is a testament to the fact that you not only have a photographer's eye, but are a good journalist/writer, too. I will look forward to seeing your byline in the future!
