HEADED SOUTH

Tomorrow, like the birds we will be migrating south for the winter.  This morning there was a layer of frost on the ground and it covered the picnic table. We were told it is supposed to get down into the 20's tonight. Time to leave Priest Lake. Also, last night we had a bear in the camp. I was not to worried until I took the dogs outside and just a about ten foot from the my dog fence was bear scat. The deer come along the path behind us and the bear must be following them. Still that is a bit too close for my liking.

I hope that the next place we setup is in an area that has internet service but can't know until we get there. I have a feeling that we will not have internet until we get near Phoenix. So, if I don't make another blog until then you know what is going on. We are okay just poor internet service. The cell phones have been non working half the time so I don't expect I will be able to recieve phone calls either. Our plans are to stop somewhere below Boise, Idaho near Mt. Home and the snake river. Rest for a week and then push on into Tonapah. Which is just west of Phoenix. Phil is packing the outside up now and I will get the inside mostly done tonight. So hopefully we will be on the road by 10am.

I spotted a cave near the top of the mountain behind the RV park and I wonder if it is the bear's cave...

A closeup of cave...

 

As you can see the bear cave isn't that far from the RV park. Phil said about 3/4 mile distance when I asked him. It was funny that when I took the girls for their bike ride a couple of days ago I wanted to go up the back road toward the cave area but something or someone impressed upon me ..."no". So I turned around... but I had the feeling something was behind me and kept looking over my shoulder. Then I learn that the bear hit the dumpsters behind the store. The road I was on took me directly past that area. Boy, I am glad that I paid heed to that inner voice. Phil wants to see a bear but I don't lol.

 

Speaking of Phil... he has amazed me with the cane he has been carving. He has done a great job and it is eye catching. He took a red dog lead that I didn't use and made the strap... and a pair of cz high quality diamond earrings that I wouldn't wear because of their size and made the eyes... Holy Moly, what a cane!....

 

Another view of the cane...

 

The photos really don't do it justice. The eyes catch the light and flash and the carving is so well done. I am so proud of him... he went way past my expectations! There is still work that he wants to do on it.

 

Well, it has come to the time I must say bye until the next blog.

 

Remember... No matter who is watching just ...

 

 

JUST KEEP ON DANCING!
