July 5, 2012

A week has come and gone. We have had a very  quiet time here. The weather has been perfect...nice breezy days in the mid 80s with no humidity and wonderful cool nights! One afternoon it actually rained for a couple of hours. Haven't heard that in a long time.

Chamber of Commerce

As you can see, the sign has good ideas, but the 2 things we would like to do are not there...hiking and jeeping. We are still looking for information on places to go that are close by.

 

 

We haven't been sitting around twiddling our thumbs though. Our pups (and the two legged folks that live in Belle) have had several nice playtimes at the river. Especially Dover...she loves the water.

 

 

Joe and I have been early morning walkers at different stages in our lives. It's not hiking, but it does give us a good cardiac workout.

 

 

There is a beautiful country road here and we have managed a couple of two and four mile walks.

 

 

There are enough inclines to get the old heart pumping and we do feel so much better when we do it. I do think the scenery is pretty,  there is very little traffic, and the deer are fun to watch.

 

Flathead Lake

 We have driven to Kalispell, MT a couple of times. They have a Murdoch's Ranch and Home Supply there. It's the only store in the area that sells Blue Buffalo Wilderness dog food. We purchased 4 huge bags full!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The drive to Kalispell from Polson is about 51 miles along the west shore of Flathead Lake along US 93. It is a beautiful ride! The lake on one side and rolling farmland and meadows on the otherside

 

 

 

 

As you drive along, you pass through several small communities...Elmo, Rollins,Lakeview, and Somers.

 

There are also a couple of state parks on this side of the lake we want to explore.

 

 

 

 

We did have a visitor Saturday...Val and her chocolate lab Georgia were here for the night on their way to West Yellowstone. We met them at Lazydays in Tucson last April. It was great to see them again!

 

 

Isn't it just so great how we can "run into folks we have met before? And what a great way our blogs help us stay in touch?

 

 

 

Well, it's about time to start supper. Joe just bought a new Weber Q 120 grill. Yes, George, you read that right! Tonight it's chicken, veggies, and pasta salad.

 

 

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.

Hello Montana!

Polson, MT

July 1-2, 2013

 

 To us, there is something really special about July!  Having been a teacher for 34 years, July was the best month ever. For me, June was always spent catching up on all the things around our home that didn't get done during the previous school year. But July, was time to play! 
 
        
  




 Playing usually included a family vacation. Now that we enjoy a full-time RV lifestyle, everyday seems like a vacation! But July, still calls for something a little special.  So, here we are for the first time ever in a Motorcoach Resort in Polson, MT.

 

Actually, this is two parks in one! If you look at the above picture of the office really close, you will see a KOA logo. That's because Paul, the owner of both parks, decided people might want to own a nice RV site here and stay awhile!

 Monday was spent getting things all set up, checking out the resort's off leash doggie park, finding the grocery store, and oh yes, stopping by the car wash...Pearl was dirty!

Our puppies were quite happy to find a nice fenced in space with thick, green grass.

 While we were driving here yesterday, we had a serious discussion...we have Pearl (our Jeep), but have never named our MH. If you follow Steve and Mona Lisa  (The Lowe's RV adventures) then you know all about Betsy. Great blog! And if you follow Bayfield Bunch, you know all about Winnie The Bago. Great blog too!

Well, its not easy coming up with a name...Pearl was easy because her color is true blue pearl...but a bus? Finally, after many suggestions and many laughs...we decided... Belle it is!

Belle...a French word meaning beautiful and... being from Georgia, a Southern Belle implies Southern hospitality.






The deck, pictured above, has a nice view of  Flathead Lake. It's the gathering place for pancakes, movies, etc.








The landscaping is immaculate here.







Tuesday was puppy play day! And look where we found to play...

...an off leash park on Flathead River. The park provides a grassy area and a stretch for water play on the banks of the river.

The dock is complete with steps if you or your pup wants to jump in for a swim. There is a rock path that leads to the water also.  A romp in the grass might be in order!

We all had a fun time! And when we got home, we had four very tired pups!

 

 Happy Fourth of July!

Y'all come back!
