Monday June 8 - Sunday, June 14, 2020 More Rain and a Few Sunny, Crazy Days!

Mon -Jun 8 

We slept until 9:30 AM. I guess we were tired. It was pouring down rain! That kind of weather makes me want to sleep! So about 11 AM, the rain let up and we did chores and walked the dogs! Steve did some weed eating and I gave him a few breaks. Sometime after lunch it poured down rain again. Later we walked the beach to the north and once around the loop road. Tonight we had a beautiful double rainbow.  We hope that the rain is over for awhile.









Tue - Jun 9

We were up a little earlier this morning. I got ready for my WW Zoom meeting. After that, we walked the dogs and did our chores. Tony Powell (our boss) came by to check on the sewer pump. The alarm on the sewer goes off and it’s not supposed to. Anyway - someone will have to come out. I made soup for lunch and the boys did more weed eating. Later a guy came and checked our sewer - he said the pump is OK and reported his findings to the boss. We had a fire and sat outside. Later we hauled off our trash on the way to Kalispell. We made a stop at Gardners RV for something and I went to REI for new shoes. Then we went to Walmart and it was a zoo, because it was late in the day. When we got back home we had more soup for supper. 


Wed - Jun 10

It was 52 degrees when we got up this morning. We did our walk in a light rain this morning. It rained most of the day. I took a nap this afternoon. Then Steve and I got around and went to do the laundry in town. Steve and I also walked up on the loop part way, but it was pretty muddy, so back to the RV. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice evening, listening to music and checking out the forest map. We had a request to leave a boat trailer here for a couple of days - which we let them do, but they gave us their name and number in case we needed it moved. I know we will be busy the next few days, because it is supposed to be warmer and sunny. 


Thu - Jun 11

I did some bookkeeping and paid a bill or two today. We were up at 8:30 and the dust control people were here. His backing up noise (incessant beep, beep, beep) woke us up. After breakfast and walking, we did chores. Next was  weed eating and moving some logs. This place was hopping! We had a fire, S’mores and music this evening. 




Fri - Jun 12

Steve was up early and  did some weed eating. Then I got up and dressed. After we ate some breakfast we walked the dogs and did chores. We picked up lunch at the Dairy Queen and then went back to the RV. When we got back, the place was packed! It was crazy!  The temperature was 82-84 degrees and sunny. That pretty much explains why we were so busy. I was about ready to take a nap but it seemed jammed up in the parking lot. So I investigated and guess what?  An older lady decided to come down the wrong side and got her SUV hung up on the big rocks. I didn’t take a picture, but something similar happened last year and I have pictures of that on a blog from last summer.  The lady said she had waited 15 minutes  to get into the fishing access site and she saw an empty parking spot - so she decided to go for it, the wrong way! It sure got her into trouble. It ruined her right front tire and rim and probably her bumper. Some guys here used their wench and got her vehicle off the rock, so she didn’t have to call for a tow truck. Anyway, I talked to the people waiting to get in and asked them all to be patient because it was gonna be a little while before she could clear the area so everyone else could get through. Anyway, that little incident kept me from taking a nap. 

We have asked the boss for some more signs that say - wrong way- but so far no luck. We are going to pick up a flag that goes on an ATV and put it at that corner. 






Sat - Jun 13

It was nice and cool today, 61 when we got up and the high was 72 degrees. It was dreary looking and overcast. After our walk and completing our chores we sat outside. Steve also worked on adjusting the jacks. We are parked on the mountainside here and even though our spot is pretty level, one of the jacks doesn’t hold. So he adjusts them frequently to keep us pretty level. At 3:30 PM the wind and rain came and we went inside and finished the day with TV. Later we went to town and had supper at Rosa’s Pizza. We watched Longmire when we got home. 






Sun - Jun 14

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. It was raining and chilly today again. We talked to Kristi today, and things are going pretty good with her. Steve & I took a nap in the afternoon. Supper was pork chops, baked potato and grillin beans. We watched TV part of the day. Later it cleared up and Steve and I had a little fire. Then we walked the loop road and Logan picked up trash! That about finishes this week.
