Tues
– We packed up and headed east. We stopped for breakfast at the
10,000 Silver $ Bar but hadn't accounted for the time zone change and
had to settle for lunch. There were long stretches of road repair
with narrow lanes but no waiting. We arrived at the Eagle's Nest RV
park in Polson around 2:00 and set up in a nice pull-through. When I
called for a reservation, the lady (Brenda) moved someone else so we
could have an end site with a nearly straight approach. There is
parking for the truck right behind us and room for the bike in front
of the 5th wheel. We stayed here before and it is a
really nice, well kept park.
We
were told about a daily 4:30 happy hour that was normally held
outside but was to be inside due to cooler weather. We headed over
at 4:30 and found a guy (Al) setting up chairs. We chatted with him
for a while before we realized that everyone else was outside as the
sun had come out! We joined them in their big circle on the lawn and
met many friendly people. A lot of them stay here for the summer.
Plenty nice enough to BBQ dinner.
Wed
– Terry took the bike for fuel and to find a liquor store. Guess
we should have stocked up more on inexpensive booze in Arizona!!
Then we went to – what else – a casino. We signed up for players
cards and found out it was senior day which included hourly drawings
for $25 in slot play. I ended up winning the first drawing but it
didn't help me much! Terry did OK so we will go back! We were back
in time for a very late lunch before happy hour where we met more
people. It is so nice that a group of people who know each other
includes newbies right away.
Thurs
– I made a lunch and we headed to the golf course for our 10:08 tee
time. First I changed from shorts into long pants just so I could
change back into shorts at the course before we teed off a bit early!
The weather was perfect, too bad our golf games were not close to
perfect! Oh well, the course was really pretty & well maintained
with beautiful views of the lake. A group of three guys waved us
through on the 13th hole and we finished shortly after
1:00. We came back and ate our lunch at the rig. Terry went to get
the truck washed and to pick up some cleaner while I made
cookies. I got the recipe from Georgia but mine did not turn out
like hers. I am blaming the oven and/or cookie sheets until I check
the recipe with Georgia. Terry got back, shined up the bike and it was time to go to happy hour. There
we met the 3 guys who waved us through on the golf course! Dinner &
a quiet evening.
