The last activity day in the Flathead Valley. KayCee spent her last day at the PBR Kennels. She has missed spending time with us, so now we're having to give her a little extra spoiling.
The Flathead Lake is beautiful, the shoreline is full of very expensive, large houses.
I really could like it up here in the summer, and although there was one of those for sale, I can't picture being there in the winter!
We wrapped up our errands yesterday, tore down camp and got ready to roll this morning. We were on the road by 9:30 and made it here to Riverside Campground in Garrison MT this afternoon about 2:30. There's been some really horrific things happening up here in this part of the country lately. A large Grizzly Bear mauled three people in seperate tents and killed a man in a campground by Cooke City Montana. Tomorrow night we will be a few miles straight north of there. A couple of days ago, a Colorado man fell to his death at a sky jumping festival north of Kalispell when his chute got tangled with another man's and his aux. chute didn't open. It brings back the reality that amid all this beauty is still a harshness that needs to be heeded. Even Jack Hanna, the wildlife specialist, vacationing in Big Fork not far from where we were, was hiking in Glacier Park with his family, and they had a grizzly bear encounter where he had to spray a young male grizzly three times to deter it. Somehow I don't think experiencing the outdoors in a tent in Grizzly country is a very smart move right now! We have thoroughly enjoyed this part of the summer and all this beauty is hard to leave behind, but in all truthfulness, I am ready for flat country, less trees a little open area and some quiet time. Ofcourse, there's still some exploring to do, maybe just not so intensely. Tonight we are having some thunder and clouds are working into sprinkles. I just hope we don't get severe storms. How did the saying go?
