From Libby, MT, ID N48°23.793’ W115°34.121’

Day 27, Caravan Day -5

When we got up we realized it was an hour later, MST. We have to adjust.

Glenna’s right eye was bothering her. Mary Chasey, our friend here in Libby, called her eye doctor. Even though he was out of town the office staff had me come by and pick up some eye drops they recommend. We will see if they help.

Around noon Mary came by and we went by their house and then for a short tour of the area. The highlight of the tour was the Libby Dam and a few stops along the Kootenai River. It is beautiful country, but snow is in the back of my mind.

I went back by the coach and picked up Glenna for supper at the Chasey’s. Mary grilled steaks and chicken. After supper we had cake for desert.

Tom showed us a toy that I now want, SPOT. Satellite personal Tracker. Check it out http://www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/6636

After more visiting I dropped Glenna and Gerri off and went caching, I bagged three today.

Just as the sun was going down I hooked up the Jeep and unhooked everything but the electricity. It shouldn’t take too long to get ready to roll in the morning. We decided to cancel the stop in West Glacier and go all the way to Great Falls. That will give us some downtime there for laundry, etc. It’s 315 miles but with a reasonable start and no delays we should be there in the late afternoon even considering it is two lane all the way.. No matter it doesn’t get dark till after ten PM.
