Woke up to a really foggy morning at Blackfoot-Clearwater Wildlife Management Area. Gayla made us up some coffee while I packed up the outside solar panels and Starlink. Today was a touristy day for us. We’d seen that Garnet, Montana was a nearby ghost town. After some research we found out that we had to …

Hard to believe it has been 30 days since we left. Seems longer but yet it doesn’t. We both slept in later than normal. Made coffee and hit the road by 9:10 AM. I had planned a short drive today. Just wasn’t feeling like going very far. Our destination is Blackfoot Clearwater Wildlife Management Area …

Woke up earlier than normal. 5:30 AM is early for me. Gayla made Huckleberry Coffee and we each enjoyed a huckleberry bear claw. Sat around camp for a bit looked at the map to see where to go. We drove in to Kalispell to get laundry done and restock on supplies for the upcoming week. …

Woke up later than anticipated. Gayla made coffee. I packed up the Starlink and we were off. Or so we thought. . . Clifford cranked and cranked and cranked some more. No starting. I didn’t hear the glow plug relay box cycling on like it should have. I unbolted the passenger front seat and removed …

Stayed up semi late. We had downloaded some episodes of Northern Exposure. We watched a few of them before falling asleep. Woke up at 5:45 AM to 48° F here. Nice brisk first day of August. Spent some snuggle time with Lucy. Cooked steak and chicken for brunch with a side of butter and coffee. …

Stayed up late last night and watched a movie. Gladiator with Russell Crowe. I’d never seen it before. Went outside just after midnight and wow. The stars were shining. Didn’t see any northern lights though. Slept in till about 7:30 AM. Had coffee and talked to Gayla about the day. I edited some more videos. …

Didn’t see any northern lights last night. Too cloudy. Gayla had a few phone calls today. The Starlink was touch and go mostly. But it was enough to get the job accomplished. I worked on clearing off more media files from our cameras. I also did some video editing and picture editing. Since it was …

Gayla and Lucy had a good night. Those are few and far between. Today is not normally a work day but we think we’ll just stay here all week for work. We have a good size spot next to the lake and have the only spot where Starlink works. Sometimes. Well, good enough to do …

Woke up to deer in our camp. Snagged a few pictures of them. Made huckleberry coffee and had a huckleberry bear claw for breakfast. Went down to look at Bowman Lake in the daylight. It is beautiful. Definitely worth the drive. We packed up and wanted to explore towards Kintla Lake. It was only 21 …

Woke in the middle of the night to a very strong sulphur smell in the air. Don’t know what it was or where it came from. All I know it was not coming from us. Finally got up at 6 AM. It was 52° inside Clifford. Finally it has got chilly. We had packed up …
