 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.

 Thank goodness we are here for a week. We went 1000 miles in 4 days! I told Steve as we went to bed that this was supposed to be a vacation not an endurance test. So the day started off with him being in a snit. I got up at 6:30. He was awake since 5:30 but stayed in bed.  I got busy and made lunches, fed the dogs and put their harnesses on.  Breakfast a couple of swallows of coffee.  We finished packing up and we're on the road by 8: 10.  We drove about 300 miles. Made a wrong turn so we stopped in front of the grave yard to use the potty.  Then we were off. We stopped for gas and headed to a rest stop about a hundred miles  away which turned out to be closed. So we stopped at a gas station and ate lunch.  Then we headed to Pegosa Springs via Wolf Creek Pass. Very twisty and turny. Very steep grades.   The park is about 10 miles out of town.  Fortunately they have wonderful internet and we can stream to our hearts content.  We collapsed the rest of the day.  Steve finally exploded.
