We made it to Lakeside, Montana and to the Edgewater Motel and RV Park.\u00a0 It was 90 miles and the coach ran great so switching to the front tank fixed or at least bypassed the problem.\u00a0 I really like this RV park because they will let me work on it here if I need to and they even allow you, for a $5 charge, to wash your RV which I plan to do.<\/p>\n

The trip from Seeley Lake to Lakeside was different because Carol drove the tow car and I drove the coach – what a difference.\u00a0 That tow car is a real burden on this old girl (Barbie).\u00a0 I would like to do without it but it sure is nice to have – like Saturday when I had to get to the parts store.<\/p>\n

We parked and got organized and then drove over to our friends Michael and Pamela’s house for a visit – it had been years since we saw them.\u00a0 They have a beautiful house up on a hill in a community of about 45 houses right on the lake.\u00a0 They have a boat and took us for a ride along with some other friends in another boat up the Flathead River to try to see some bald eagles.\u00a0 We did manage to see an eagle and several osprey.\u00a0 There is a photo of the eagle below – the first one shows the eagle zoomed in and the second shows what we could see from the water.<\/p>\n

We rode around the lake for a while and then had dinner in a restaurant called “The Docks” which is right across the street from our camp site.\u00a0 Great burger and friendly people – lots of fun – all capped off by a dramatic moon rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
