Great to catch up but now going to the sun!

May 21: Well we had a great 3 days visiting with Phil and Gail. They hadnt really changed since the last time we saw them perhaps 8-10 years ago. Too long. They graciously shared their home and family and we even got to be a part of their families 40th and 5th birthdays. While we were there we were able to visit downtown BigFork and Kalispel (Costco!!!). Our trip to their home had echoes of Phil’s “hit the deer” as we pulled onto the last leg of our trip and multiple kamikaze deer ran out into the road. Hit the deer means you are more likely to get hurt and hurt others if you swerve to miss the deer. As I have mentioned elsewhere I put deer whistles on the truck and think they helped at least once.

Electric Street in Bigfork was artsy and cute. Flathead Lake was humongous. Swan Lake where Phil and Gail’s beautiful home is was big but not too big. John and Evelyn you are in for a real treat staying in the guest cabin. So cute and beautifully done.

Once again we had weirdly perfect weather in the 80’s and dry. Jo has not been a rain goddess this trip so far.

Now on to Glacier National Park and The Going to the Sun Road or at least the part that is open.
