Wandering Retirees

Another, and our last, great day with Judy at this wonderful resort in Columbia Falls, MT. Connie and Judy returned to Glacier NP this morning. The agenda was a Ranger led hike up Rocky Point Trail. Ranger John spoke about the history of the Park and the things that make it an international peace park, wilderness/biosphere reserve and world heritage site. I stayed in to sleep a little extra – a cold seems to have caught me and I needed the rest before riding out to join the women at the Lake McDonald Lodge for a late lunch. It is a quaint old retreat with a great restaurant and a lot of old time charm.   
Tomorrow we head out for Butte, MT, a waypoint to Hailey, ID where we will stay for four nights and explore Saw Tooth Nat’l Forest. We decided to forego the challenge of US Rt. 12 and the Lolo Pass because rain is in the forecast and the driver ain’t up to snuff. Lolo will remain on the bucket list a while longer.  

We have had such a wonderful time with Judy, who graciously made a portion of her time share available. We had so much fun catching up on life, and entertained ourselves mightily with long conversations, a movie and an impossible jigsaw puzzle. (finished moments ago.) We’re sorry to part ways.  

Enough for tonight. Be well.

Yesterday, we saw an eight point buck.  Today, a very young buck, just growing antlers.

The view from Rocky Point Trail.  So serene.

Wild flowers along the trail.

Our entertainment the last two nights!
