We are all set up in our camp site for the summer. Had a great trip out, no problems.  We made a few stops on the way. We stayed two days at Theodore Roosevelt Nat'l. Park. We saw so many animals.  The park is beautiful in the spring. All green hills. Our camp site was nice, a little tight to get into but we make it.
Also made a stop to see the grizzly bears at a place near Bozeman.  Lucy , the youngest one, put on quite a show for us. She played with everything they had for her from the pond to logs.  Good stop for families.
Now it is time to work, we have already mowed our sites and cleaned up the pine needles and pine cones. No one was on these sites last year so lots to clean up. The deer have been in already.  Fun to watch even if we do see them at home all the time.
Yesterday and this morning we worked on mowing the lawns around the building here at the work center and the heli port field out front.
Now it is time to go to the big swap meet here in St. Regis. We can walk over there so do not have to drive and hunt for a parking space. I think there are a lot of people here judging from the traffic we have seen while we were mowing. Have a great holiday everyone.

Well it is time to pack up the 5th wheel again and be on our way to Montana for another great summer volunteering for the forest service. We will again travel with our friends the Palmers.  That is always a good time.  Never a dull moment with Tish around.
We spent the day going thru closets and drawers trying to decide what to take. Since is can be cold there in June that means warm clothes and the when it gets to be really summer  a different set of clothes.
Virgil ordered a new tripod for the TV dish so he spent the morning setting it up for the first time and making sure it works. Have to have TV.
Now I did more fun packing when I got to my sewing room, What to take to work on? I basted a quilt together last week to hand quilt and naturally I have many other projects to choose from when I need a change of pace.
We are looking forward to going this year, in fact we have changed the departure date three times. It keeps getting earlier and earlier. First it was Friday, then Thursday, now as soon as the Palmers finish at the doctors on Wednesday afternoon we are on our way. Wish us luck.
