Part 1 of New Update

Tuesday, 9/8, we drove to Bob & Jackie's friends house in Priest River, Idaho. What a place, right on the water. Gary is still in the process of building their house, they hope it will be done by this time next year. Right now the 3 of them, Gary, Alana and their daughter Christy are living in a 2 story garage, that Gary put together. Anyway we had a great time with them that night. As a matter of fact we just talked to Bob today and they are still there.

Wednesday Dave and I stopped in Anaconda Montana for the night. We toured around Butte, saw the Washoe Smelter Stack, where they use to process Copper/Ore. Right next door was the Fairmont Hot Springs Resorts. You pay 6 bucks and you can stay and swim all day. They have 2 Olympic size pools(1 indoor and 1 outdoor) and 2 soaking pools, also inside and out. They cool the water to between 88 and 104 degrees. The pools are natural hot springs so that's why they have to cool them. Thank goodness it wasn't a hot day, cool outside so the pools felt good but boy were you cold when you got out. The day we went the pools were at 93/94 and the soaking pools were 103/104. In Anaconda and Butte we noticed there is just about a Casino on every corner. Also in Butte we got to see "Our Lady of the Rockies". You can read about it on the web www.ourladyoftherockies.org.

Friday we arrived in Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone MT.

I'll recap that in the next blog.
