Strange enough that Fort Knox arrived in Kalispell on Friday, stranger still that the soldiers came to meet with four young river guides.
They met in the only likely spot - at the intersection of technology, that universal crossroads where all of society seems to pass these days, en route to the future.
The soldiers were looking for a high-tech mobile classroom to teach the intricate ins and outs of big-tank cannons. The river runners “were just trying to figure out a way to stay in the valley and find a job.” * So said Clay Binford, who ran his share of whitewater before becoming vice president of marketing and sales for Nomad Technologies Inc. http://www.nomadtechs.com/ The company - he built it up these last few years with three pals from the raft company - custom-crafts big mobile communication systems and, now, mobile classrooms.
Think a full-on communication center in an oversized RV.
“This isn't exactly what we started out to do,” Binford said. “It just kind of morphed.”
