We have been at Bakers Hole campground in West Yellowstone, MT for the last week. Our plans were to go on to Custer State Park and my beautiful Black Hills but plans have a way of changing. As I type this we are on our way back to Texas. With Mike being an insurance adjuster, we have been called in as part of the catastrophe team. He does the walking and I do the talking (all of the computer data entry and the actual filing of the claims) so we work as a team. Hurricane Ike did so much damage that we will probably be working for quite awhile.
We spent most of this last week with Sue & Jerry Brooks. Even with both of them having health issues at the moment, they escorted us around Yellowstone. We FINALLY saw wolves! The took us to Red Lodge via Dunraven Pass and Bear Tooth. Such beautiful country. They are such fun people. We have been so blessed this trip to be able to visit with good friends both here and in Seattle.
Finally got our TV fixed, in time to watch the Cowboy game last night. That was a close one but once again we pulled it out! How 'bout them Cowboys!!!

September 8, 2008
Will try to catch up with what has been happening with us for the last 2 weeks. I did go back to Texas for a week. One of our very best friends passed away and I felt I needed to be with his family. We have been thru many ups and downs together. He was only 71...somehow, that doesn't seem old anymore.
I THINK maybe, we have my parents situated for awhile. They are moving to a great RV park in Georgetown, TX. It is not the ideal answer but at least a step in the right direction. They will be much closer to family and medical help. When we get home this fall we will only be about 45 minutes away and my sister is about 45 minutes away. Like I said, not great but better.
Mike and CoCoa stayed in Seattle while I was gone. They picked me up at the SeaTac airport in Tuesday (9/2) and we headed east. We stayed the first night in Spokane. Not getting started until afternoon and neither of us sleeping good for the last week, we decided an early stop was called for! Wednesday and Thursday nights were spent at TwoRivers RV Park at Bonners Ferry, ID. That absolutely a great place.
Then Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights we stayed at Lost Johnny Campground in he Flathead National Forrest. From there we toured Glacier National Park...during the season, there is a free shuttle on the Going to the Sun road but we are too late in the year for it! Oh well, Mike did get to see some of it as there wasn't much traffic. Beautiful scenery but already starting to get COLD!
So now we are "ON THE ROAD AGAIN". This time back to Yellowstone for a few days.
