Time to update our timeline again.....after East Glacier we moved over to Kalispell and Columbia Falls for a week....spent 4 days in the Walmart parking lot in Kalispell, MT.......we were in a significant rain storm in East Glacier where the rain was going sideways and apparently some rain ingressed into the kitchen area under the cabinets, and then got under our wood flooring. We spent the 4 days in Kalispell drying everything out, and then reassembling the wood floor....it is Pergo interlocking, so it's just like putting a puzzle back together. From there we moved up to Columbia Falls and boondocked in the parking lot of Flathead Lake Winery for 3 nights. Over that time we re-entered Glacier National Park from the West Glacier entrance and from the Camas Creek Entrance. We really have enjoyed spending so much time around Glacier.

Then we moved down to Polson, MT and spent 6 days on the Flathead River at Flathead River RV Resort....a little pricey, but we really enjoyed the town, Flathead Lake, and the river.....very relaxing.....there is a great Mexican place (Fiesta en Jalisco) that we ate at twice, and a great little micro brewery called Glacier Brewing which we visited a few times. There is also a very cool museum there called The Miracle of America Museum.....if you are in the area this is a must see! Then it was time to move south to Missoula because we needed to drive south in the car to Salt Lake City to attend the wedding of my brother's daughter. We paid for 4 nights at the Missoula Fairgrouds....$17 per night including electricity, which is all we needed since we were just parking the coach there while we drove south. We had a great time at the wedding, and were so glad to be able to see my two brothers, and one of my sisters as well as my son Tim who flew in and surprised us....we had no idea he was coming......makes me happy to think about the great time we had catching up with him and his life.

Yesterday, August 20th, we drove 170 miles west to Coeur d'Alene, ID where we are going to spend the next 4 weeks. ....we found a great little RV park right on the Spokane River just where Lake Coeur d'Alene ends and the river begins.....got our full hookup site $470 for the month.....best deal we have ever gotten! We are about 100 yards from the Centennial Bike Path that goes all the way to Spokane, and only about 1.5 miles from the Lake Resort.

Life is good.....
