We are still here at Carbella (in Montana) and will probably stay another week. We had 3 hot days – highs in the high 90’s – but mostly we’ve enjoyed high 70’s low 80’s with cool nights. We’ve met many interesting people – sometimes it’s just a little morning chat while we are walking Zoe. Sometimes we get to know them better. Teresa and John “Hawk” were here for several days. Hawk is a retired Marine. Teresa is an artist. We had coffee/breakfast with them a couple of times and a campfire one night. They cooked burgers, I cooked a steak and Vic ate his plant based something. It was fun, their boxer (Chloe) got along with Zoe. When they went home we doused the fire and went inside. I went back out 10 minutes later to bring in something we forgot and found the fire had come back to life in a very big way. All I could figure is it’s very dry here and can be pretty windy. The water must have evaporated. Good grief. I had to pour a gallon plus of water to make it totally go out.
This morning we decided to check out another camping spot with good fishing called Dailey Lake. It’s at the end of a road called Six Mile Road. It’s more like 12 miles of gravel with muddy spots and pot holes! As tempting as it would be for the fishing the road was awful.
We met a young family of five with a dog, the parents run float trips and back packing trips for teens. Their summer schedule is over, they are here for one last float. They have a house in western Mass. Zoe tried to play with their dog.
