By this stage we had decided to make changes in our itinerary. Since Rich had left, we were not enjoying the trip quite as much. We were anxious to make our way home and not explore any more. I was happy that we had seen Glacier, but our planned route home through Yellowstone did not hold much appeal to any of us. The boys proposed returning to Hot Lava Springs, Idaho. They also wanted to invite their cousins to join us there. We had contacted the family in SLC and they agreed to meet us there on Sunday. I knew it was a long drive but we decided that we could make it in two days - Friday and Saturday.
We woke quite early Friday morning because the boys wee so excited at the prospect of seeing their cousins. We packed and spent some time saying goodbye to the lake and fort. We drove the full length of the eastern shore of Lake Flathead. It so really pretty and cherry stalls were everywhere. We soon joined I90 and sped east towards Butte, then south along I15 towards Idaho. Driving the interstate system is so easy, we drove the rest of the day without much stress. Towards evening we pulled in at a reservoir campground. We were told to find a spot near a picnic table and settle in - it was free to boot! The wind was blowing and the chill was not particularly pleasant. The camper was so snug! We had to hand pump our water - a job for the boys. A young girl, Alison, came over to help us. I also discovered that I had left the water pump on while driving - as a result it was now not working. Oh well - we would deal with it when we got back to Denver. Rob made dinner while I went for a long walk with Alison. I was really tiered from the long day on the road, and the boys were also happy to curl up in their beds. The only sound was that of the rain on our roof.
