August 6-9th 2019 Kelispell, Montana

August 6th.  We said goodbye to to Columbia Fall RV and only drove 15 miles south to Kelispell. Montana and checked in to Spruce Pines RV Park. I had.made reservations here as this is the only place they could find on our route that had the ability to replace our Motor home windshield. Not every glass company can do this!!! So here we are for one week and glass has been shipped but won’t arrive till next Tuesday the day we are suppose to leave here!!! Glass Dr is letting us camp out in their parking lot overnight since they will be replacing Wednesday morning. This time of year out here if you don’t have reservation at least a week in advance you don’t have a place to stay. You might find a campground but it will be a dump !!!!  Lol  We went to Glass Dr on Wednesday the 7th super nice people and said they would need 5 hours to put in the windshield and spending the night in their lot was not a problem at all. So we are set pending delivery of the glass!!!!
Aug 7th.  We were told about a good RV parts store as we need to replace a water pump for our fresh water when not connected to a water source. It has a small leak, but don’t want to take the chance of if it becoming not functional when we are traveling. So this will Be Rod’s job tomorrow to replace!!
Aug 8th day!! First cloudy day we have seen in months!! Suppose to rain tomorrow so it’s a must Rod gets the outside work done today. Like replace the water pump!!! Lol  It’s been a stay at home day.
Aug 9th. We stayed at home all day yesterday. Even though Rod had chores to be completed and they did get done, he is ready to ride again!! He can not sit still for long!! LOL
We drove to some of the small towns around the mountains Homestead, Lakeside, Polson, and Elmo. Beautiful small towns at the base of the mountains. We had lunch at Homestead Cafe. Just enjoyed the ride, the views for the first time since we have left home in June IT RAINED!!!  Lol
We were coming back into Kelispell and what is sitting in the parking lot of a grocery store???  THE OSCAR MEYER WIENER TRUCK!!!! I made Rod whip our little car right over there!!! We took pics!! Got me an Oscar Meyer wiener whistle!!! And free hot dog!!! It’s a day to remember. I’ve always wanted to run into it somewhere in my travels and now I can say  YES I have seen it!!! Lol
We have a few days to rest up before our adventures begun again.
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
PS All the great views we have seen, you can tell what really made an impression on me the last few days!!   LOL
