All the routine things were accomplished. Then we went to the post office in Bigfork to pick up our package from Hazel and buy some stamps. I mailed birthday cards to Parker and Kristi. Then we went back to the RV for lunch and watched some TV. A fifth wheel pulled in on the boat parking side. We talked to them and warned them about the big rocks. They said they wanted to try out their kayaks and would only be parked there about an hour -- so after an hour and a half went by and they had not left, I went up and talked to the boat education guy and they started to pack up as I observed them. Then I noticed a boat tied up to the dock- the education volunteer said they were were getting a part for the boat and would then move it. Two kids rode through the lot, one on a 4 wheeler and one on a mini dirt bike. I told them they are not supposed to ride through here! Now it is almost 5 PM and they came around some more. Finally, Steve said let's follow them. A pickup with a jet ski trailer pulled in and the the kids were right behind it. We pulled up behind the kids on their 4 wheeler and mini bike. The one on the mini bike fell. So I asked if the guy who came in with the jet ski trailer if hw was their dad. He said yes. Steve talked to him about us warning the kids not keep riding through the parking lot, because it is not safe. They could easily be ran over by people backing up their boats and not seeing them. Plus some of the people who come here might have been drinking. He was appreciative about us telling him. We tried to see the northern lights tonight- but no luck. Steve also tried to take some star pictures - but we could not get in a good location for that either - too many lights.

Sunday - Sept 1 84 degrees
Pretty routine morning. We did check the north beach for trash. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather. We watched some TV and I also visited with the boat education volunteer. We didn't have any problems. I fixed us some supper and we watched the OU football game until they got way ahead, then we changed to Longmire.
Monday - Sept 2 83 degrees Labor Day
We got up a little earlier. After doing all our routine things - Steve did some weed eating while I picked up trash. We drove to town - the trash place was closed and so was the drugstore. We checked the access site and cleaned it. Then I drove to Ferndale and bought a hiking book. We returned to the RV and had lunch and walked the dogs. I broke the blind by the couch so Steve & I spent about 2 1/2 to 3 hours fixing it. I just assisted, he did the actual fixing.
Tuesday - Sept 3 82 degrees -
I was up and down last night, Steve was up very early with Poopsie (she was kinda sick at her stomach). I didn't sleep until 2 or 3 AM and got up at 8:30. We did our chores and walk. Next I called the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety and got an extension until November 6, 2019 for Steve's Driver License Medical Exam. Next I called urgent care in Bigfork and made an appointment to have them check my right ear and right side of my neck. They said come in about 12;30 PM and I could fill out paper and see someone. The ARNP thinks it's bites and swollen lymph glands. So I went to the pharmacy for benadryl and a cold pack. We decided to stop at the Grateful Bread for quiche. We dumped our trash on the way back to the RV. Since the sleep was poor last night we napped from 3 - 5 PM. We also watched some TV. Later we took a drive from 7 - 8:45 PM and saw lots of deer and turkeys. That is some of our favorite entertainment.

Wednesday - Sept 4 84 degrees
Same old routine today. Tony Powell (our boss) came down and brought some brochures for the boat education folks. We visited with him a bit. We had sandwiches for lunch and then took it easy. We walked our dogs . For supper I cooked chicken, squash and red peppers on the griddle - and that along with rice fixed us up.

Thursday - Sept 5 82 degrees
On our return from the walk, we saw an FWP pickup turn into the Echo Lake Access site. It was Seth (Maintenance Guy) -- he was here to spray weeds. We stayed outside and had a campfire until mid-morning. Then we were back in the RV to hang out. Later we went to town and cleaned the access site and ate pizza. Also stopped by the grocery tstore before we went back to the RV. We walked our dogs, rested and watched TV. Leftover pizza was what we had for supper. Then we watched the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears play football.

Friday - Sept 6 67 degrees was the high!
Poopsie had a bad night and messed up the bed. We got up about 5:40 AM. Eventually we had breakfast since neither of us had any luck getting back to sleep. After walking the dogs, we got the laundry around and went to the laundromat in town. We were finished by 11 AM. After getting everything put away we walked the dogs around the loop, and had a sandwich for lunch. Then I napped and Steve rested. Tonight's supper was chili. Again we went for a drive on La Brandt road and McCaffery road. We saw 15 - 20 deer! This is entertaining to us. I know we are easily amused. We came back and watched TV and then went to bed.
