After we got around, the chores were waiting for us. We had to haul the hose over to wash out the latrine this morning. Then we hauled the trash and cleaned the Bigfork access site. Steve did some weed eating. The Boss came by and picked up our fire extinguisher to get it refilled. Lunch was pancakes and turkey bacon. Steve worked on the bench outside, he replaced the logs that were holding it up. We were inside most of the afternoon. Supper was turkey burgers, chips and yogurt. We watched the Titan games on TV. After that we went for a drive and let Logan drive us around.

Tue - Jul 7
I got up late because my sleep was interrupted. I was up at 3:15 because I had to use the restroom and saw that a storm was coming up - so I put the awning in. We don't want to lose our new awning! Then I was up again about 6:00 AM with Zoey. She had been whining off and on since the middle of the night. She wanted out to eat grass - so I let her outside in the rain. I don't think she really liked that, but she went. Then I got her back inside and went back to bed. I woke up too late for my WW Zoom meeting -but found out I could go to a later meeting. We walked and did our chores. Steve putzed around with raking and pulling weeds. We went to town to the Grateful Bread for lunch and also went by the post office and grocery store. We took Logan by a store to get a few souvenirs to take home. Then we returned home for my WW Zoom meeting and supper.

We got up and around pretty good this morning. We completed our chores then went to town to do the laundry. While the laundry was washing - we cleaned the access site. Then back to the laundry to put clothes in the dryer. While they were drying we got the oil changed in the pickup. Then we finished the laundry and went back to the RV. Tony Powell brought us a fire extinguisher that had been re-charged, in case we had any more fires. We took a drive with Logan up by the Strawberry Lake Trailhead road and hiked a bit. We think it was Echo creek. It sure was nice there. After our excursion, we returned to town and went to the Flathead Brewing Co. for supper. We had to wait almost 1 1/2 hours for seating. We all ordered cajun chicken baskets and it was good. We had leftovers. Yum. Then back home.

We got up earlier today about 7:30 After walking and doing the chores, then we were on our way to the airport. We arrived with no problems. We wore our masks inside and went to the ticket counter and printed Logan's ticket. The really nice guy who helped us said Logan would be able to carry on his tote and his backpack. We mulled that over and eventually, Logan decided to check his tote. We waited around and horsed around with a few pictures. Then it was time for Logan to go through TSA and board his plane. The plane took off on time. We were a little sad for him to leave - but we will see him again soon. Today would have been my Mom's 101st birthday. I am always a little sad that she is no longer with us either. After leaving the airport, we stopped at the Army Surplus store and Steve tried on some shoes. They didn't have his size , but can have them tomorrow. So we got a burger at McDonald's and then returned to the RV. We rested after we got home and had leftovers for supper. We watched Longmire after supper and I also educated 2 guys about not having a fire on the DNRC land to the north of us. Steve worked on the refrigerator, doing some defrosting.

Fri - Jul 10
Today after we completed our morning routine- we did a bang up job cleaning the bathrooms and picking up trash. When we finished in Bigfork, we headed to Kalispell to get Steve's shoes and pick up supplies at Walmart. We were back to the RV in time for lunch. Later we had a nap. Supper was hamburgers, salad, berries and chips.
Sat - Jul 11
We had a pretty routine morning. It was a nice day and we worked on cleaning the front of the RV for awhile. There were lots of folks here today. We had 74 cars on the road and parking lot at 3:15 PM. It was busy and a long day.
Sun - Jul 12
Today was a little windy and 72 degrees. We did all the routine things. After lunch I talked to both of my sisters. We watched two movies and drove to Strawberry Lake Road and walked with the dogs. Supper was pork chops, couscous, salad and brownies. Later we watched Yellowstone. About 10:00 PM we stepped outside with the dogs and saw the beach area from the hill. Lo and behold, someone had a big campfire started down on the beach area. So we went and told them that campfires are not allowed here. Then we picked up some trash from the dock. It didn't look like they were making much progress on putting out the fire. So we got a bucket from the shed and took it down to them to use for putting out the fire. They finally put it out and we went back to the RV for bed. Sometimes people just will not follow the rules.
