Old Perma Store & Harold Shaw




On our last day of riding for the week we passed this very small store on Route 200 as we headed for our base camp of Missoula. I saw a man at a mailbox and jokingly said, "Am I an Boston yet?" He replied, "You are in the suburbs of Boston!" At that moment I knew the next few minutes would be very interesting.
Owner Harold Shaw was a gracious host for those of us who stopped to converse with him. I asked Mr. Shaw to have a picture with him (right) and he said he would be honored. Mr. Shaw has lived in various places in the USA since his dad was in the military, but he settled in Montana and opened this small store in 2000. He is half Indian and have Scottish. It was a real pleasure speaking to him and he wished us well.
