Mon - June 15
We got up about 8:45 or 9:00 this morning. I did something bad to my left hip - it popped or something while I was in bed. Weird! Maybe it’s a muscle pull, I hope. We walked very little (because, PAIN!). After doing the chores we saw a float plane landing on the lake - I got one picture. Tony Powell was here about 11:00 AM to pull out the dock (it was under water). We finally got enough rain that it had to be pulled out! We are glad to see the water coming up in the lake, it was very low when we arrived. He hung out here til about 1:00 PM trying to eat his lunch and dry out his socks and shoes. He had to wade to hook the rope up to the dock to be able to wench it out. He went to town for a while, and we ate pancakes and turkey bacon for our lunch. When he came back the sewer pump truck came! The boss looked for a lateral line (one may have collapsed, which is causing our problem). About 4:30, we went to town and picked up groceries. Anyway it was a busy day.
Tue - Jun 16
Well I got up and around and ready for my WW Zoom meeting. Then we walked and did our routine things. It was a pretty day! We also did chores in town. After lunch we went to Lone Pine State Park and hiked up the hill. You get a great panoramic view of the Flathead Valley! It was really nice. Logan hiked a bit more than we did. When we got back home it was nap time. I made chili for supper and we had a fire and walked the dogs. Nice day!
Wed - Jun 17
We were up at 9:00 and did all the routine things. Today the guys started working on putting in a plastic wedge under the main slide. They broke for lunch and a little rest. I stayed inside. It is a very difficult job they are trying to do. We actually have 8 wedges and they have completed one before we came up here. They are trying to get in a second one. Later we had supper and a fire. That was about it for today.
Thu - Jun 18
We were up a little late again this morning, about 9:00 ish. We had breakfast, walked the dogs and did our chores. Then we sat down and noticed a Fish, Wildlife and Parks Truck up by the gate. We thought maybe it was the boss, but he didn’t come down. So after awhile, we went up to see what was going on. It was some workers and they were sent out to weed eat the roadside (ditch). OK. So we went to Kalispell. Our first stop was Gardner RV for a new porch light, then lunch at Costa Vida (Mexican) and then Walmart for groceries. After we got home and unloaded the groceries, we rested a bit. I talked to both my sisters today. Supper was soft tacos. Later we put up a flag at the big rock in the parking lot that keeps giving people trouble. I also had Steve put the bows on the front of the RV windshield. We sat outside and tried to have a fire , but it kept raining, so we went back inside.
Fri - Jun 19
The rain woke me up at 6:15, but I didn’t get up til about an hour later. We did our routine activities. Later I did some weed eating by the stump (so I could see my flower) and the guys worked on the plastic wedge thing again. I was on standby in case they needed me to hand them a tool or something. We went to town later and checked the fishing access site there. The guys got almost worn out working on that slide problem. We have decided to try to get it fixed at the factory on our way home this fall.
Sat - Jun 20
I was up at 6:15 with the dog (Zoey). Then I went back to bed and got up about 7:15 AM. After doing the routine things we sat outside. Steve put away his tools and Steve made us a fire to sit by for awhile. The boss and his family including his parents, showed up to enjoy Echo Lake. His Dad brought his boat. So they fished and had a picnic. After we had our fire, we went in for lunch. About 1:30 it started raining and the wind came up. I guess the boss and his family skedaddled when that rain came. Anyway it was raining most of the afternoon. When it finally let up Steve worked on cleaning our black tank and a few other things. I fixed supper and we called it a day. The high today was 69 degrees.
Sun - Jun 21 Father’s Day!
We did mostly the same things today. Logan and I gave Steve a present for Father’s Day and a card. The card was really cute, it was a stand up hamburger, which is Steve’s favorite food! We sat outside until it started sprinkle, then we went inside. Logan made pancakes and we had turkey bacon with them. Then it rained! We took a Nap!. Next we hauled off the trash to the container site and went to Wayfarer State Park in town at Bigfork. I bought a state park pass for $50, so we can now go to any Montana State Park and not have to pay another fee. It also gives us a discount on camping if we stay at any Montana Parks on our way home. Then we went up to the forest where Logan could shoot his BB pistol and we let him drive home. He will get a learner’s permit in October and we have been having him practice driving on the dirt roads. He is doing pretty good. After supper, we watched Yellowstone, with Kevin Costner.
