The last few days have been filled with things we are doing but nothing exciting, even though at the end of the day we are exhausted and too tired to work on the blog. The last 2 days the wind shifted and it got quite smokey from the Pioneer fire at times.
We don’t get moving much until around 10 each morning because it is too cold! It got down to about 38° each night but once the sun gets over the mountain and shines on the RV, it warms up very nicely. John has been doing some fishing each day, sometime late morning and sometimes late afternoon. I have taken several long walks, one trail out of the campground was a pretty walk up a steep hillside through quiet forest. Another time I walked over to the service area where one could take a shower ($2 for 5 minutes) or do laundry then to the visitor’s center and then to the lodge thinking I would take in the free concert. It was so bad I left after two songs but I did get in 4.5 miles of walking. One morning we had a very good breakfast at The Bakery in Stanley and did some minor grocery shopping.
This morning we got in the Jeep and rode up into the hills north of Stanley lake. We were hoping for a pretty drive, maybe a little challenging for the Jeep but what we got was a gravel road through burned out forest. It was pretty in a weird way and once we got to a crest there was a nice view of the valley. I checked later and it had burned about 6 years ago. On the way home we drove by Stanley Lake.
