Jun1 through June 15, 2023 Getting Settled in at Echo Lake

June 1 - Thursday - We did routine things this morning. Today we started our caretaking of Echo Lake. This consists of cleaning one outdoor bathroom and picking up the trash in the parking lot. We put out our mat in front of the RV, and did a few other thing to finish setting up. Tony Powell was here and brought us the lawnmower and weed eater. Steve straightened out the shed. We had leftover chili  for lunch and then went  to town and did laundry.

June 2 - Friday - Today we cut the morning routine short and headed to Walmart for supplies. We had lunch after everything was put away. Steve washed the bugs off the RV. We were able to do some mowing and weed eating.

June 3 - Saturday - We did routine things today. Sleep was’t great because Poopsie cried off and on overnight. Steve worked on the rock area that he made a few years ago. A post had rotted and it needed to be replaced.  

June 4 - Sunday - Today was pretty routine. Steve finished his rock project. About eleven, Sydney came by and checked on us. Later Tony P called. We finally got our perimeter rope put up. I think we are finally about to get our site fixed for the summer. 

Some of the visitors to Echo Lake. It looks to me like those rocks would hurt their hooves.

 

 


The Infamous Parking Lot! We were pretty busy today!

June 5 -Monday -Today we mowed from 10:30 to 1:00.  This was after we had completed our regular chores. It was kinda slow here today, which made it a great day for mowing.

June 6 - Tuesday - After the morning routine - we went to Sliters and Harvest food in Bigfork. We filled the freshwater tank in the RV - just in case we lose electricity and can’t get well water. 

We noticed this had been hit and moved when we were on our walk.
Reported it to our boss and he reported to Flathead Elec Coop.
Before we knew it, Flathead Electric was out here fixing it




Another Sunset - Tuesday Evening at 10:03 PM. It stays light for a long time here in June!

June 7 - Wednesday- Today we did weed eating in the parking lot and along the road. For supper we went to Rosa’s Pizza. It is always good.

See how they treat our curb stops? They manage to hit them and drag them all over with their boat trailers!

 June 8- Thursday - We completed all our routine things today. Today Steve’s back is bad. The kids from Swan River School rode their bikes out today. And then they kayaked around the lake. It is always fun to see them have a great last day of school. We drove to Kalispell and went to Harbor Freight and Walmart. We were back home by 4:00 PM. It rained later in the evening. 

June 9 - Friday -It rained this morning, so we stayed inside. Then Tony P came by about 11:00 AM. He brought us a new litter picker upper, which we needed. Today was pretty slow. That makes it nice for us. 

Jun 10 - Saturday- After we did the chores we did mowing for about two hours. Then I monitored the site and dock. I had a short nap today. The weather was nice and we sat outside this afternoon. 


I am pretty sure these are noxious weeds, but I love the flowers!


June 11 - Sunday - We sat outside and listened to a podcast today after doing the chores. We like to listen to the Dear Bob and Sue Podcast. It’s about visiting National Parks and other public lands. There was a wind storm this afternoon. We are so glad we have a power awning so we just roll it in when the wind comes up. We also walked up the loop road some.

Jun 12 -Monday - After doing the chores, we hauled off the trash. Then we stopped at Sliters and Harvest Foods. Today when doing the chores, We found a Crawdad Trap. Which wouldn’t be so bad - but for bait they had used old meat bones. I wasn’t happy about that find. Talked to Tony P about it. And later the trap magically disappeared. Hallelujah.

Crawdad Trap - See that icky bone?

June 13 - Tuesday - After the usual morning routine was completed, we loaded up the laundry and went to town. That took until about 12:45. Then we went home and put away the clothes and had lunch. Later we went on a drive and looked for deer. 

June 14 - Wednesday - Today we got up late. It was chilly - 50 degrees, which makes sleeping great. We did our chores and putzed around. Sydney came by and visited. When evening rolled around we took the dogs along on a drive to town for Berries and ice cream. Yum.

June 15 - Thursday-After the chores, we went to Kalispell. We stopped at Bish’s RV for a part and then on to Walmart. We got home about 2 PM and put everything away.

We see deer most days when we walk
