Cooling, ID and the Priest Lake Area


It's been an eventful time since we left Cody, WY (June 13th) and headed to Coolin, ID.  The day we left Cody is the day Yellowstone NP was closed due to heavy flooding and damage.  We weren't aware of anything as we traveled except that both the Yellowstone and Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone Rivers were extremely high, full of debris and definitely in flood stage.  We arrived in Bozeman, MT that afternoon to find our Facebook pages full of people checking up on us.  Other than it was a normal travel day in foul weather, we were clueless as to what was going on.

After an overnight stop in Bozeman, we traveled to Missoula, MT staying two nights in Jim & Mary's RV Park.  We like this little park and, apparently, someone in the family is a master gardener.  We made one more stop on the east side of Spokane, WA before arriving in Coolin, ID on the 17th and starting our week's visit with Donna's cousin and his wife.  Donna's brother David and his wife arrived the following Monday, so we ended up with a small family reunion for a few days.

We left Coolin, ID yesterday, the 24th, and moved over to Libby, MT for the weekend. Unusual for us, we didn't experience any rain traveling to Libby! There'll be a separate blog post for Libby.

Here's some pics from our time in the Cooling and Priest Lake area.
