A Ten Day Camp on the Lolo National Forest...

The camp at Big Larch on the Lolo National Forest, was the longest we've spent in an Organized NF camp since we cracked out... and the only reason for it, was to avoid possible problems while I was gone.

Early yesterday afternoon, I pulled the rig a few miles north to a camp on the river coming out of Lake Alva... back into RV Boondocking territory.

*Below Lake Alva*

... and a river runs through it, just in front of those trees behind the rig...

We'll spend ten days here, until it's time to leave and run south for the wedding...

What with the river being right there... Maybe I should find that lil' fishing rod I've got 'round here somewhere... get me a license... and torque off some PETA types!

Saw a few trails leading off around the lake as we pulled in... so there should be plenty of walking available for herself and the dogs... while I get about getting my work done...

*The River out my Front door*

Finally took care of another lil' issue yesterday too... I've had this "rattle" going down the road that's irritated me... for a whole lot of miles... Sounded like something really bad loose, on both sides... but, I really couldn't find anything loose to account for it...

Finally, In frustration, I just jerked the beat up old wheel covers off the front end... and guess what? No more rattle. Nothing was loose... but they sure made noise... I'm thinking it was the wind, whistling through the holes cut in the dang things... So... It's the dumpster for those stinkin' things... and I'll just polish up and paint the wheels to be acceptable...

One more thing gotten rid of! :) let's see... 5lbs off the rig too... so my fuel economy will improve... :)

... Oh yeah... obviously... I've got signal here... and though I rigged up my rinky dink back up antennae for the cellular amplifier, it's not on... so... one more place Verizon has got the job done...

Though they do have their warts... like... seldom do the phones make it to the end of the contract!!! (but that's the phone manufacturer ain't it?) and they keep raising cost/reducing service (ah... but then, that's the american way ain't it?)

So... I've got to get out my tools and start carving some leather today... 'bout time I got the Wedding present created...

Still in Montana...
