On our way home from church (7/27/2014) look at what we saw along the highway just out side of Anaconda , Mt.
Mountain Goat or upong Bighorn sheep . . .not sure which! Rare to see.
After we got the campground cleaned up Sunday afternoon we went to a car show in Philipsburg , Mt. It was great too. About 87 degrees so felt like summer!
They didn't have any signs identifying the classic cars so we had to guess what make and model. That was hard!
This 1966 Ford Mustang convertible was being raffled off so Wayne bought us a ticket!
We could sure have some fun tonight cruisin in that baby!!!
This is where we get our water from for the camper and man is it good too!
Ice cold pure mountain spring water near Spring Hill Campground.
Today when we got home from doing laundry this is what we saw in the campground! Mama moose has brought her twin babies for us to see. Then she took them though the campground and back up into the hills. Hope that she brings them back so we can see how everyone is doing.
Mama standing by the water . . .twins almost covered by the tall grass to her right.
More of Mama moose browsing.
You can see hoe close she is to camper in Loop B.
The two babies browsing.
She is crossing the road to go where the twins are at.
The twins were just so cute! Then she took them up though the camp to the woods .

Beautiful 5:00 sunrise over Philipsburg Bay at Georgetown Lake.
5:15 AM looking west from the boat launch toward the end of the bay.
5:30 AM looking north across the lake.
One of only 10 "torpedo" style boats made in 1952 to take tourists around lake at Yellowstone National Park. Restored recently to original by a camper visiting Philipsburg Campground and being taken back to Yellowstone to be christened in the same spot where it originally came from. Boat has won many People's Choice awards at boat shows. Finished in African Mahogany.
Orginal picture when he found it abandoned in a field being brushed by cows.
He also restored a 1937 Tour Bus into a very sharp and useful motor home. Has a Cummins diesel engine installed in it! Very Retro!
Very sharp looking and neat to see!
This is what happens when campers cannot read signs that Piney's B Loop is closed because of trees falling and damaging parked campers. This is Red's solution to the problem. Let's see them try to get over or through this!

On the Fourth of July we had a full campground and a float from the Georgetown 4th of July Parade came thru the campground.
We had a couple of lightening storms come thru the campground in the late afternoon and a lightening bolt struck a dead tree in the campground splitting it from top to bottom.
Debris from the lightening strike on the tree scattered bark and limbs 20 to 30 yards from the tree.
It sure did make a mess and the only other casualty was a dead magpie.
This shows how the lightening split the tree all the way to the roots. We sure heard the lightening strike and it scared a bunch of campers. Glad it was up and away from the campground and that no one got hurt except the bird.
