THE EAGLE HAS LANDED


 Above is our first glimpse of Flathead Lake, as we enter the home stretch. The Rockies are still frosted with a nice pack of snow, not to be gone until sometime in late May.

 Big Mountain, above....Amber was just skiing up there a few days ago, so it's still viable for the die-hards like her.  Here we have baby pullets....laying hens.  We went to one of our favorite farm and ranch supply venues and stocked up on pig ears for Luna, and got our fill of window shopping for cowboy boots, farm implements and Carhart clothes.
In anticipation of our upcoming backpacking trips, we have been shopping all over town, getting input about sleeping bags, tents and backpacks.  Having done this 30+ years ago, it felt great to see all the improvements and innovations the industry has made over the years.  Darrell is trying out a "Big Agnes" sleeping bag here.  Don't know the story behind the name, but they seem to have a good line of gear.
