Day 23, Addendum, Thursday Evening, August 9, 2012, Rollins, MT, on Flathead Lake, MT.

Below are pictures from dinner and our presentation to Kathy and Bill for their absolutely wonderful hospitality. It was a real push/pull to leave Friday morning.

After dinner Bill and Kathy took us up to their child's and nephew's with their spouses log cabin. The cabin is about a 1000 feet higher than the lake. We looked at the cabin and then drove over a bit to hunt for huckleberries. The section was on a down year, so we found a half dozen after looking pretty hard.
