After sightseeing at Lake Chelan and Grand Coulee dam, we arrived at
Lakeside, Montana at Flathead Lake. We enjoyed spending time with
Christine's relatives, learning about some of the family history, and
appreciating the workmanship of Roy Warren in the not-so-rustic homes he built
from the self-milled lumber, logs and beyond.
Glacier National Park treated us to spectacular views and memories.
Following the Lewis and Clark Expedition Voyage of Discovery also piqued our
interest.
