These are early spring flowers...in June!

Avalanche Gorge

After our bike ride, we decided to see
how the trail looked, and ended up going all the way to
the lake.

After all this time, we finally figured out why
they call this avalanche trail....

Our destination-Avalanche Lake

As we walked into the "bowl" the mountains
formed, we were hit with an icy wind coming
off the snow covered slopes and lake. I almost expected to see icebergs in it.

RAILS TO TRAILS

Montana has been converting old railways into
bike trails, and today we tried one out. The leg
we took went from Kalispell to Kila, only about 5
miles each way. But it meandered along a river, and we had lunch on a bench next to a bird
refuge. Very nice!

I'm gonna have to get a book on Montana
flowers. So many pretty ones blooming right
now!

The sun comes out as the clouds pass.

Someone has been creative down at the beach.
Not sure what they created, maybe a ceremony
was involved. I don't want to know. :)

THE WAVE

This is where we go almost every day to work out.
It has a warm pool, a lap pool, a pool for the kids
with a waterslide, and a large hot pool with jets
(for our aching bodies). It's especially dear to
us, as we can't do a lot of hiking yet. So, until
we can climb some trails, this is where we
climb the stairmaster!

RIGHT IN OUR FRONT YARD!

We didn't have to go hunting for morels, they were growing right next to the picnic table near our trailer.....In a bunch of gravel. I sent this picture to Amber to verify that they were the real thing, and they are. She said I should pick and eat them. I just can't. I checked in the woods here, but there weren't anymore. No wonder they're a rare delicacy!
