The rhododendrons were in full bloom, when we got back from Montana...

We stopped by the Cataldo Mission in Idaho.
We stopped at the same campsite we discovered on the way. Ginger is watching Suzi get our lunch together.
Saw this moose on the side of the road near Lincoln, MT.

Got a kick out of seeing Natasha when I came out of the store.
The view looking back at the Rocky Mountains looked neat when we left.
The of prairie of Montana is littered with missile sites like this one.
When we left, we saw this small funnel cloud.
We were glad it was so small, it was plenty exciting enough at this size.
Saw a variety of birds.




Louis liked the variety of animals to watch!

Saw this Sandcrane in Montana.
We brought the rain from Seattle with us, and then some! It rained ALL week! course when we packed, we left the rain gear at home, after all we were headed to Montana, the rain is normally short lived. After a 20 year drought they got over 8inches while we were there.

The bridge approach started to wash away.

So they closed the main road to town. (thankfully there is another less desireable road out)
We spent a week in MT. Natasha liked all the high places to explore.


Louis liked looking out the window at the animals.

Goat Lic
At the southern most point of Glacier National Park there is an area of cliffs that the goats like to lic. We have been lucky in seeing them in the past, but have never seen them this close.




Watching Goats is tiring work!


We found a campsite near St Regis, MT along the Clark River.




Then we traveled North along Flathead Lake.

Trip to Montana.

We started out by stopping by Snoqualmie Falls. There was a flood watch when we left.

Then we camped up on Snoqualmie Pass.

Where the ice ends in the lake on the far right is where we normally park... bit wet that day.


The kitties seemed to settle in well.

In Loving Memory of Dick Collins. He and Mela's mom were always so kind to me. His family and friends had a beautiful life celebration for him on Whidby Island.
