Saturday - June 8
We got up late, had breakfast then walked the dogs. It rained and rained today. We drove to Gardner RV for a pressure valve for the hot water heater.  Lunch was at the RV and then the guys went to Bigfork for plumber's tape. It rained some more and was pretty chilly. I'm resting with the electric blanket. Finally the sun came out, yea! We walked the loop road and sat outside.

It was routine stuff this morning - breakfast, walk, chores. We hosed out the latrine today. Next we worked on the fire pit and put up the rope around our site - so people don't walk through. Steve & Logan straightened up the shed. We also had to return to town for  Hamburgers, Buns and S'mores. Tonight we cooked over the fire pit!  Food tastes so much better cooked outside.

Monday - June 10
Tony (our boss) called about 9 am - a little after we were awake and said he would see us soon. So we rushed around and checked the latrine and parking lot. He showed up about 10. We signed the volunteer agreement. Next we did some weed eating. Steve re-organized the back of the pickup so we could fit the laundry in. Then we had our lunch and rested a bit. After sorting the laundry, we were off to town. When we finished the laundry - we checked the fishing access site in town and almost got hit by a car!  I honked at them and we avoided a wreck. We stopped at the store for milk and while we were there  - Steve had an asthma attack and of course - no inhaler.  He made it through it - but it was scary. We got home and put away the laundry and Steve recovered. I put an inhaler in my purse in case that happens again. I guess there was something at the access site in town that affected him. I fixed hamburger helper for supper. We walked by the lake a little and then watched Yellowstone (TV show).

We got up late this morning and after doing our routine chores we ate junk for lunch. We walked around the loop road. Then I rested because my back hurt. I even put heat on it. The guys put up our sun shade and wasp attractants. Then a guy came by and talked about a project his group is going to do this summer at the lake. They are going to try to educate people about the aquatic invasive species, wake and noise rules. We showered and then went to town to eat at the Mexican place next door to the Laundry. We had poor service - and don't plan to return. We will try another place next time.

Today we were up earlier - 8:30 AM. This was better than yesterday. We did our routine morning duties.  We went to Kalispell Walmart for supplies. Lunch was at McDonald's. When we got back to the RV - there were lots of people here at the lake. I took a short nap and we just snacked for supper. Justin, the Game Warden came by tonight and we had a few people on the dock.
Thursday - June 13
We got around slowly, but got everything done. Steve straightened the RV. This afternoon we went to Bigfork and got duct tape, went tot he post office and mailed a wedding card and gift to my nephew Landon and his bride. We checked the access site in town. Then I bought a few things at the drugstore. After supper we walked the Krause Interpretive Trail and went up to the Strawberry lake road. It was a nice night.

After the routine duties and breakfast we did some weed eating. We are trying to make the place look good. Tony (our boss) is coming down again and bringing us a couple of new T-shirts. Logan and I got in the lake - wading. I slipped and got wet almost all over, then Logan swam.  He thinks the water is COLD!  I agree.
