Background: Today we biked 70 miles from Libby, MT to Clark Fork, ID. Clark Fork is a border town that has an approximate population of 500+ people. Most people purchase their groceries from a small market in town that is analyzed below. Additionally, there is one gas station also discussed below. Clark Fork has no locally sponsored farmer's market, but the neighboring town of Hope (8 miles) does host weekly markets during the summer season. Activity levels appear to be high with many children biking around town, playing basketball at the school courts, etc.

Absolutely. Always good to gain permission before snooping around someone's establishment.
