Cherries to Darby

As we travelled from Lonesome Dove, we stopped to buy cherries from some locals.

We are in Flathead country, the local tribes are fiercely proud of their heritage.

Our enroute destination, a trail uphill at Blogetts Overlook.
This is me, pre heart attack moaning mightily about the climb.

Here we are 45 minutes later congratulating ourselves on not having expired in the 85 degree heat. We met a nice chap at the top happy to take photos, ( in exchange for some shots of himself, we think for his grinder profile! )

My hero surveys the amazing views x

And here we are heading down, Mrs Veck seems much more chipper, no suggestion Mr Veck is to be shot at dawn for suggesting we go hiking.

This beautiful oasis is The Hannon House, our host and tour guide, the lovely Jason.

Off to the Knotty Nymph, also owned by Jason the owner of the Hannon House, our accomodation for tonight.

My Steak which, while expensive, was absolutely wonderful.

Our entertainment for this evening Richard Blaine, very good with his country/folksy vibe. The accuracy of his guitar playing less spot on...

Our journey home, mother nature painting the hills with light.

This is me ( In my nightie ) penning the latest blog for you.

Well dear reader another day of fun, please join us later for more.. Goodnight.
