BEAR!

We had lots of excitement this evening! Just as we were finished eating inside the RV, John caught some movement out of the corner of his eye. It was a bear walking through our campsite! He ambled along, sniffing at our grill (John had cooked salmon tonight) then started wandering over to the next site. Before I could get the camera out and focused on the bear, the neighbor's dog barked and scared it off. It went down near the river where there was a fisherman, walked behind him then circled the end of the campground, crossed the highway and went into the campground on that side. The campground host was near us in his car so he drove over to his RV and actually got a picture of it. It was a small, well fed black bear only he was a cinnamon color.

With all the excitement I almost forgot about getting the slide fixed. John got up early and drove into Bozeman so that he had cell service to call Newmar. He was gone for almost three hours (Bozeman is thirty minutes away) so I was pretty worried that things were not going well. But when he returned he had a monster wrench and instructions to fix the slide himself. Within thirty minutes he had it working right! Yeah!!

We drove up to BIg Sky for lunch and then John got some trout flies that the neighbor had indicated the fish were striking. So the afternoon was spent with John fishing and I was reading, and rearranging the kitchen, then another fish outing when he caught two trout while I cooked dinner. And then the bear!
