In Kalispell 
We are in Kalispell now, and will likely be here for a while.. (until the weather forces us out!) Don't know if we'll have internet or not. So the updates may slow down.

Dickey Lake Campground 
We spent August 30th & 31st at the Dickey Lake National forest campground. At only $7/night we decided to stay 2 days since it was cold and rainy. Sat and read and played Erin's Rainy-day gift of Battleship and Chess in addition to starting to watch KungFu Series on DVD... Very lazy days :)
Also used the fancy Gift of Iron roasting sticks for doughboys and smores. Mornings have been dipping below 40 degrees.. Starting to get worried about pipes freezing.. GOnna have to insulate this thing so we can run the thermostat at about 40degrees.. the furnace uses up LP way too fast to use more than a tiny bit. Also the choke has been failing more.. Gonna have to work on it in Kalispell.

Logging Road Boondock 
We spent our last remaining Canada "Clearance" boondocked down a logging road. (N 49°19'24" W 115°12'28") We took a bike ride down an unmarked road towards a nearby lake. Ran into a Grampa and a couple grandkids. He invitied us to swim off of his dock, Had a good time. nice little spring-fed lake. Otherwise, we mostly "vegged".

Radium Hot Springs 
Nice Lazy, Lazy day!
We drove a bunch, from Golden,BC down to Cranbrook,BC. We stopped and
lazed in the "Hot Springs" at Radium,BC it was busy, but HUGE, so there was plenty of room, it was just 2 giant outdoor swimming pools, one fed by hot springs below the building. another, just normal temp. An additional tiny pool was 56F water for "cooling off" :) This SITE has an excellent picture.

We slept at a Walmart parking lot in Cranbrook.

Another Long Hike 
Today we continued our drive down highway 1. We stopped at a 'lake' (it looked more like a pond or even pool). We then went on a 13km hike up to the upper lookout of Mount Hunter. It was an elevation gain of over a kilometer!. Ouch. We are going to hurt tomorrow.
We are now out of the parks and are using internet in Golden, British Columbia. We're going to be heading down 95 to find someplace to sleep soon.

A hut at the end of our hike where the ranger's (or whomever) stayed when they were up looking for fires.
