People of the Big River day 11

 We slept in until 7:15 AM, I got all my stuff together and had coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. We got to the Big Obsidian flow around 9 AM. We climbed to a sight seeing spot at the top, very nice. Obsidian was beautiful. We also seen Lichen growing on the Obsidian which was cool to see. Once we left there we headed to the High Desert Museum and looked though all the exhibits and seen all the animals. They has Trout, Foxes, Owls, snakes and Otters there as well. They has an exhibit telling about the different Tribes in the area including the Yakama Tribe, where I grew up. We also seen bead work and clothing and pictures from way back when which was very interesting. Once we left the museum we headed to the public library in Bend Oregon so we could upload our blogs.

While we were unloading and setting up our tents Monet cooked us dinner, we had ta...

  For the last day in Kalispel, we woke up to rain. It was an early day of packing and chores. We needed to get on the road because we needed to drive from Kalispel to Bend Oregon which was around an 8-hour drive. So, I showered and packed my personal belongings. I ate maple and brown sugar oatmeal for my breakfast instead of the usual cold cereal. We got on the road around 9 AM to start our journey. I rode with Monet Becenti, Agnes Meninick, and Robert Onley in the black van and really enjoyed their company.

We stopped about six times for gas, bathroom breaks, and lunch. Again, we traveled in a convoy, black van, truck and RV in the middle and white van in the back. We managed to stay together for the most part. Due to time constraints we had to get food from a restaurant, so we ate at Panda Express, very delicio...
