July 2, 2018 through July 8 2018 What's going on around here?

Monday, the 2nd of July ended up being rainy. We did all our regular chores plus we went to Bigfork and took care of that fishing access site also. Our friends Martina & Jim from California were in the area and we met up with them for supper. We had a great visit and it was so nice to see them again. We became acquainted with them in 2015 when we volunteered at Farragut State Park.  We ate at the Sitting Duck. The food was pretty good and we would go back. But the best part was visiting with friends.  I didn't get a picture - dumb me.

Evening at Echo Lake

Tuesday, the 3rd of July we did our chores and then went to Walmart. Wow was it packed! Of course it was social security payday and also everyone was getting their supplies for the 4th of July.  We survived!  We also went by the FWP office and turned in our volunteer time sheets.

Wednesday the 4th of July we put up our sign on the dock about no jumping and swimming by the dock or boat ramp. Steve bought some metal tape and we attached it good! Our manager, Tony came by just before noon and checked out the parking lot and hung out about 30 or 45 minutes. Today the Game Warden, Justin was also here from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.  His presence really helped keep things in line I think. We also took a nap.  There were lots of people here enjoying the holiday!

Mountain Bluebells (possibly)

4th of July outfit we observed

Thursday, July 5th was also very busy. Lots of people were here.  We did routine stuff and monitored the boat ramp.

Friday after we did our chores we drove up to Kalispell and went to Snoopy's (sporting goods store) and Steve got some new shoes. I got sport sandals. We also went to Cabella's, but they did not have the shoes I wanted.  In addition, I had to pick up my medicine at Walmart. We also saw a deer on our walk this morning, but the picture isn't that great with the phone, so I didn't include it.

There is a rodeo in Bigfork this week-end

Canola Field on the way to Kalispell

Saturday, the 7th was the same routine in the morning, walk, chores, lunch.  This place was packed and very busy again today.  To get away from the crowds, we went to the Fish Hatchery at Creston. It was quiet and peaceful. By the time 9:30 arrived we were down one car in the parking lot. Yea!

Sundown at Echo Lake

Sunday- again the same routine in the morning!  It was sunny and warm.  After noon we drove up to Lake Five to see the other place where there is an FWP camp host. We still like the place we are best. This is a beautiful lake and a convenient setting.

More Huckleberry Ice Cream!
