Rainy Friday

We both still have that cough which is aggravated by the dust from yesterday's trip and smoke from neighboring campfires. We slept in a little later and after coffee and breakfast, Phil worked on his fishing rigs. He hoped to use his Tenkara fly rigs to catch a few fish in the small streams. You dont have to have a license to fish here within the park boundaries. But after at least 90 minutes of tying the lines and sorting the flies, it began to rain so no fishing.

We drove up to the top of the hill near the campsite to upload our blog, check email, etc. And decided to go get gas in the pickup and maybe eat lunch. There used to be an excellent pizza place nearby in Corum, but it has sadly closed permanently. Instead we stopped to eat at at another Montana dive bar next to the local biker bar (Packers Roost).

Still raining after lunch and some errands so we are heading to get a shower over in Camp Loop A. (We are in Camp Loop D, with the other unwashed campers.) Tomorrow we will begin our 2 day drive to Spokane, stopping in one of the beautiful Montana or Idaho areas to camp.

We used to live in Spokane and we both have advanced degrees from the Washington State, which has its health campus in Spokane. Phil has a telehealth appt. We hope to do some laundry, shopping, and visiting our old hangouts.Read more
