 We were up ny 7:30. Breakfast chores crosswords and spinning.   The we gradually packed up and headed out about 11. We drove about 160 miles. Stopped just before we got to the rest stop on the side of the road with a view of the river. Beautiful country. Still smokey. When we got to the campsite we noticed the under cover of the trailer was coming off. So after we got the trailer set up  and out . We spent an hour and a half putting it back upcwith duct tape and screws. Steve was under the trailer and I was outside handing him things.

 I got to sleep really late this morning.  8:45.  Coffee, chores. Then I made sausage and Frech toast.  Then we jumped in the car and went to see the Hungry Horse Dam.  About 6 miles away. But because Steve does not believe in signs we went to the east end of the reservoir and drove about 15 miles  on a rusty gravel road. Then turned around and came back to really see the Dam.  564 ft high, 11th tallest in the US.  Finally we returned to go back to the meat shop to get more sausage and hamburgers.  Then home . TV and stitching the rest of the day.

 Got up about 8. Breakfast chores and crosswords.  Steve and I both got to spin. I guess Steve did not want to lift weights so we decided to go into Kalispell to Costco.   Our neighbors are a young family from the Haifa area in Israel.  They are here for a couple of months taking a break from the war zone.  His name is Slavic.  The works for a non profit- Jews for Jesus.  Took a sabbatical. Friend gave him a truck to use. Bought a small pull behind trailer since that was cheaper than renting one.  Interestingly  they have bikes and a kayak in the back of the truck. I am sure they did not bring them from Israel.  Kind of strange.   They must have preplanned this trip for awhile.   Very strange.  They must also be flush with cash. 

Anyway we went to Costco about 30 miles away. Spent small fortune then went to our favorite meat market right outside Columbia Falls RV . Perfect Cuts.  Got back and got it it the freezer.  Then TV and stitching the rest of the day.  Steaks in the Ninja.
