Les & Janet's Most Excellent Adventures

Les and Janet (#225) are spending the summer as camp hosts

at Whitefish State Park in Montana, just outside Glacier National Park.

We are about 60 miles from the Canadian border.

And this particular park has a lot of tourists from

Alberta so we feel quite at "home", eh?

Our way here via west Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho and into Montana included stops at some interesting RV parks.

We stayed in the casino parking lot outside Eagle Pass where a professional gambler dude directed us into the cramped quarters.

He stays 9 months out of the year there making big bucks as a poker player - he says.

So of course, we made him buy the beer for the evening.

At Balmorhea State Park we dipped into the natural springs there.

A lee-tle chilly!

After several months in south Texas it felt like a polar bear plunge in Minnesota. But is was fun to have the fish all around nipping at your toes. Like a Japanese pedicure.

Also stayed at Huerco Tanks State Park near El Paso.

Petroglyphs. Pictoglyphs.

Still unsure which is which but the park has both.
Thanks to Lanny and Donna and Les and Maryanne for all these suggestions.

Amazing state parks.

Moab, Utah included a stop at the only wind powered RV park in the world.

And in a Challis, Idaho park we dipped into the 106 degree hot-hot-hot springs. We probably burned something off but then it froze back up when it got to 40 that night.

And, in Lolo, Montana we stayed at an RV park that is also a square dance club and square dance clothing shop. Square dancing happens every night through the summer and weekly in the winter. Janet was disappointed to find out they do not make a Clogs type of square dancing shoe. Months in south Texas has spoiled her feet for anything but flip flops.

Now we are in Montana, on a lake where Fisherman Les has reeled in

lake trout and Janet has had to figure out what to do with them.

Who has the harder job?

We would have attached the pictures, but, gosh, we forgot to take them.

You'll just have to believe our stories of the eight-pound trout Fisherman Les caught and that we have stuffed and mounted on the front bumper of the truck - like a pair of Texas longhorns.

This is pretty country.

Thanks for all your pre-trip info for us Mel and Bob and Vicki.

Visit us if you are nearby this summer.

Just be sure to bring your wool blankie!

Have a great summer.

We plan to!
