Getting Ready

Bill and I are getting ready to leave Plains, MT after having spent a productive and fun two months here. We have gotten to know our neighbors and they are the BEST! Bill improved the shallow well and installed an electric pump - no more handpumping water to the 5th wheel! Whew! He cleaned up some buildings, burned two big piles of old debris, cleared some brush, built stairs down to the river, etc., etc. I waged war on weeds by hand-to-hand combat and chemical warfare. We have several piles of debris ready to burn next spring when we get the O.K. from the Forest Service.
On Friday, we will head for White Salmon, WA to attend my friend Ayme's wedding and on Sunday we will take off on our tour to Jasper and Banff National Parks in Canada and on to Minnesota, Ohio, New England, The east coast, Florida, and back here from there.
Stay tuned...
