Lakes and more lakes

Yesterday, we took a drive from Kalispell to Big Fork, MT to see Flathead Lake. The lake is named for the Flathead Indians, who have a reservation at the south end  of the lake.  Flathead lake is the largest natural lake in the west. It is 27 miles long and several miles wide and 300 feet deep. In addition, it is beautiful.  Unfortunately, we didn't have sunny weather to show it off. I guess we used all that up when we went to Glacier National Park.  

This is Yellow Bay. There is a small tent camping state park here.




I love to photograph flowers. I don't have any idea what these are, but I think they're pretty.

Once again, I need practice on my selfies. 

We also stopped at the Flathead Brew Pub for lunch.  They do a fine job with their food and grog, and we had a view of the lake from our table. It was a fun day, and we didn't have to stress out much!

Today, we bid a sad farewell to Rocky Mountain HI RV Park. This was one of our favorite parks so far. But we are heading for home, so we pulled up stakes and drove to the Travel America RV Park in Sagle, ID.  Sagle is about six miles south of Sandpoint, ID, which sits on the north end of Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced Pond Oray), a beautiful big lake in the Idaho panhandle. My trusty photographer provided some nice shots along the way.

Hwy US2 winds through the mountains of northwestern Montana and into Idaho.


The Kootenai River

 This is just outside Libby, MT. There are some beautiful homes along the Kootenai.
 

So here we are tucked in under the fir trees at the Travel America RV Park in Sagle, ID.

Tomorrow, we need to take our old Pogo to the veterinarian. She seems to have a relapse of her staph infection. So, that will be first priority. Then we hope to explore Sandpoint.
