We were up and around about 8:15 and did all the usual things. Steve did some weed eating this morning. After lunch we watched some TV. About 4:00 we went to Ferndale and got gas and drove on down to Swan River Recreation Area. This is a forest place that has a day use picnic area, a boat ramp, and campground across the highway. After checking this out we drove south to Porcupine Creek road. We drove back quite aways then turned North for awhile then came back before we got back to the National Wildlife Reguge Parking area we saw a Bear! It ran across the road too fast to get a picture. But Steve, me and the dogs saw it! We came back home after a drive of about 55 - 60 miles round trip. I fixed us an easy supper and then watched a movie.

Steve did a little more weed eating today while I did the chores. We ate snacks for lunch and rested. Later we went to town for groceries. We has a simple supper, hamburger and chips. We watched football tonight. It rained about 9:15 PM.

Today was my birthday! We did our routine things in the morning, including cleaning the Bigfork Access. We ate supper at the Mexican place in town to celebrate my birthday. Then we returned home and ate cake and ice cream. We didn't do any extra work today. Steve gave me cards and I got phone calls from Marsha, Tony, Pam and Krisit and the kids. It was a nice day.

Well this was another routine day and I have gotten behind in writing the blog. I don't remember anything much about this day. We did have a spectacular sunset.
Thursday - August 29
After doing our chores, we went to Kalispell for supplies at Walmart. When we got back at 12:45, Tony, our boss was here. We visited with him a bit then put away the groceries. We both took it easy and played iPad games. At 4:00 we loaded the trash and hauled it off. Then went on to town and mailed an anniversary card to Pam & JC. We also checked the Bigfork Access. After that we went to Outback RV Campground and picked up Donna & Larry. We showed them around Bigfork. They are the couple we met when workamping at Farragut in 2015. All of us ate supper at Flathead Brewery. We drove them out to see our spot here at Echo Lake and then took them back to their site about 8:30. We visited about and hour and then returned home. After walking the dogs and went to bed.

We got around and did our routine stuff. I also paid some bills. About 11:30 we met Donna and Larry at the Echo Lake cafe for brunch. Then back to the RV for a bit. Next we left for a drive up to Jewel Basin and spent some time up there. We walked part way up a trail. After we got back to the pickup we decided to drive up by Krause Interpretive Trail and Strawberry Lake trailhead, Then we were back to the RV and rested. When we got back a thunderstorm came up kind of quick so Donna & Larry went to their RV and I took a little rest. We ate snacks for supper. It was a nice evening watching Oklahoma State beat Oregon State in football! Woo Hoo!
