Clover is exhausted from being a doggy-dog and a water-dog! Back to the usual grind for her.
We left Ashley Lake on Wednesday morning and drove to Flathead Lake and camped at a KOA. It was a very nice spot, but I didn't even take a photo.....we've gotten so spoiled on scenery. This was just a stop-over before heading to Missoula to see Logan on Thursday. We parked the kyper right in Logan's driveway. He lives in a great spot within walking distance to downtown and the University. Logan took us on a tour of town and the University of Montana. It is a beautiful campus. Logan has a great dog named Buddy, who goes everywhere with him. He and Clover got along great! We were lucky to arrive on a day that Logan had a gig. He is called Ironboard, and is starting to get known in the area. (www.myspace.com/ironboardmusic) It was an outdoor venue right on the river that goes through town. I guess those piano lessons have paid off! He got his name from the fact that he actually uses an ironing board as his music stand. On Friday, Logan took us on a new adventure....tubing the river. It was a blast! Even Buddy got to go (wearing his special doggy life jacket). We saw some bald eagles as a bonus. Logan had to take a test (he's doing very well in school), so we spent the rest of the day ourselves walking around Missoula. On Saturday, we moved to a campground called Lolo Creek Squaredance Center and Campground.....yes, I said squaredance. We were definitely the youngest by several decades in this spot! Logan drove us to Snowbowl Ski Area where he skis in the winter and we had their famous pizza and took the chairlift up the mountain. We could see the entire Bitterroot Valley from up there. The heat took it out of us (it's been a heat wave) so we headed back to the campsite and took the dogs to play in the river. Clover didn't even hesitate after her Ashley Lake escapades! It was a mellow evening at the campsite. We played a few cards and took a brief glance at the squaredance. Those geezers were having a good time! We said goodbye to Logan and he headed home. It was so nice to see him and see his life in Missoula. He loves Montana. It is a great place. We left really early the next morning in order to avoid the heat. The kyper gets hot really fast. We had planned a different route home (through Sun Valley, ID) but are opting to head straight for the coast!
