Glacier to Flathead Lake

Glacier to Flathead Lake
We finally got some internet service tonight and were able to contact Vera and Gabe. Well no granddaughter yet but Bev will be home in one week so anytime after that would be fine with her.
We traveled from the west side of Glacier Natl Park today to the Flathead Indian Reservation and we are about 15 miles from the town of Poulson Montana tonight. I went to town tonight to post the blogs at the Montana Wheat Coffee House but they were closed for the day. So we got on Skype and did some phoning and I deleted about two dozen messages as usual on my computer email. Tomorrow I will go to town and do the blogs (it just is not comfortable doing them in the Jeep). Probably have a nice donut and coffee to.
The reservation is on one side of Flathead Lake which is really huge and our campsite is at the Blue Marina and we have a campsite right on the water. There are no hookups at this campsite because it is on the water, if we wanted to be one row up we could have full hookups but by now we are used to having no hookups and just dumping and taking on fresh water every 2-3 days. Electricity is not a problem except for Bev’s hair dryer and the microwave. Then she just runs the generator for about 10 minutes and that is taken care of. Between the solar cells and the driving we do every few days now it keeps the batteries charged nicely.
The water seems somewhat warm in this lake and I may just give it a try tomorrow. That and getting a HAIR CUT are about the only things on my agenda.
Well as you can tell as the trip wears on there are fewer and fewer things that get talked about. That is mainly because we are now in a routine or rut depending on how you look at it. We travel lots less per day and do a lot more sitting around and just plain walking and hiking than in the first month or six weeks of the trip. So now you know life on the road gets to have its routines also and then there are the things that have to be done routinely like laundry (ugh), dumping the holding tanks (ugh), filling the fresh water tanks (not so bad) and getting gas and groceries (just like you all do only more often because you have a bigger refrigerator to store things in that you also throw away because you did not consume them in time (think of all the starving children in the world and eat that up).
Well so long for tonight as I watch the sunset over the lake and mountains to the west (thank God we have a sunset because now we have night time and not perpetual light).
