Canyon Ferry Lake, MT High 82 Low 53 Windy and Stormy
Before leaving Billings we were able to have dinner with our good friend Carol and stopped to visit with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary. He’s looking mighty sharp for being 90. Mary is my Mom’s youngest sister.
We left Billings on Thursday morning and arrived at the Silos KOA on Canyon Ferry Lake about 1:30. We got set up and then we went to Helena (about 25 miles) to get Jim’s boat. It was sitting at my brother-in-laws.
This is not a typical KOA. This is a fishing campground. Seems that a lot of folks leave their rigs here and come down on the week-end with boats and ATVs. There are several permanent sites and most are in good shape. Also, the overnight traffic is heavy.
We’ve seen some children this week-end but it is a quiet campground during the week. We have a view of the lake from our site. The RV’s you see in this picture are parked over in the BLM campground which is just across the road from us. The air was a little hazy because of the fire over by Hamilton, MT.
We are enjoying just relaxing and letting our bodies recover from all the work we did on the house. Jim went out fishing a little while on Friday and caught one small fish. But he wasn’t out very long. Week-ends are definitely for week-end warriors and we stay out of their way.
Still have our fingers crossed that the house will close on the 19th.
My fingers, toes and eyes are all crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place to stay and also it's great that you two can get away and relax a little.
Good luck with the house closing, its not done until the money is in you bank and I am sure it will go smoothly for you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time there.
Hope your house sale goes through & you can put that behind you. Wish I could join Jim for some good fishing. I haven't fished since 2006 when we were in the Florida Keys. Enjoy yourselves out there.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice veiw of the Lake. I know selling the house will be such a relief
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a good rest and Jim deserves to fish. It will all come together.
ReplyDeleteYou're relaxing? Really? Hat is great to read.
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking positive. That house is going to close!
hope the house closes... we might be able to stop by for a quick visit on our way to Helena, have reservations in Kalispell on the 13th
ReplyDeleteWe understand your feelings about the house closing. God is the blessed controller of ALL things. You will feel better the day after closing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good spot to be - hope the fish are biting.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will all go well, positive thinking helps. So are you making plans for the future?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place to just relax and sit a spell...not to mention set a hook now and then!!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed on the house!!
Good to finally have some downtime. Of course, the house will close without a hitch!
ReplyDeleteHow long are you staying there? We're heading there.
ReplyDeleteRelax...enjoy😌
ReplyDeleteTaking it easy for a little while sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteThe mortgage interest rates are still very low so here's hoping that will help with the house sale.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're taking it easy for a while. Great pictures. Fingers crossed with the house--getting close. Pats and hugs to Skitlez!
ReplyDeleteYou guys deserve some relaxation time. Fingers crossed!
