CAMPGROUND: 2nd night at Logan State Park
LOCATION: Northwest Montana, about 30 miles west of Kalispell
WEATHER: Beautiful again. Cool AM and evening; warm and sunny during the day. High 74

Our friend Sarah had researched her maps and came up with a nice, 3-hour drive in the country. Most of the trip was on gravel, forrestry-service roads. We were looking for wildlife, but only saw one deer. The scenery was beautiful. Lots and lots of pines. We drove through wooded areas and plains, thinking “This would be a perfect place for a bear to be grazing”, but no such luck.

When we returned to civilization, we stopped at a picturesque lodge, right on one of the lakes. We relaxed with drinks and wifi.

Dixie, their dog, was able to join us on the deck.

DINNER: My turn tonight. I made shrimp cocktail for appetizers. Main course was shrimp tacos with a side of beans and rice. Sarah brought delicious avocados that we sliced up. Dessert was fresh nectarines. We made a fire again, and enjoyed the evening together.
