Fire storm evacuation 9-4-98 Labor day weekend
Good travel out of white fish this morning just out side of town we spotted a Yamaha shop, so we turned around and went back. Dh has spotted a blue bike he wanted a closer look at, it was a Yamaha Venture 87 it was 1,300 cc with only 25,000 mi. on it I was looking around and they had some neat accessories. I was interested in a battery cover for my bike, it rattles on one side and one of the prongs is broken. They had a bike in for repairs with chrome battery covers on it like I wanted it was neat to see those, they were great I can order them from the shop at home. That was a fun stop!
On the way here I had to use my reserve on fuel then one mile later was a fuel stop that was neat, then it was only 3.75 mi. to our stop for the night.
Hot springs was not what we had expected. Smoke is rolling up from near by mountains, they were evacuating near Hot springs Dixie; cattle, and stuff. (County fair weekend at Plains. We did not stay ~ (Plains was evacuated the next day.)
A beautiful drive around this half (West) of Flathead lake, the town Lakeside is a beautiful, there were two church camps near there. (Methodist and Lutheran) When we got back to the Polson KOA we took a soak in the hot tub and went for a swim in the pool, showered and relaxed in the afternoon. We were going to go on the lake cruise but were miss informed on the time so we missed it. We will try it again tomorrow. Maybe the smoke will clear out. There is ash falling from the smoke in the sky.
We took the lake cruise at Polson this morning on flat head lake It was wonderful cool, in the relaxing 1½ hours on the cruise. Lots of smoke, fires are every where now in and around Darby too. We saw Boonie on the way too (A guy dh worked with that drives a Harley.)
