We returned to Great Falls, MT, just a few weeks after visiting. My (Debbie's) sister Linda, flew from Los Angeles to Great Falls, Montana to spend a week with us. We had a few days left in Great Falls, to take her to visit and explore the "Great Falls". We also visited the Lewis and Clark interpretive center, right on the Missouri River, along with a salmon hatchery.
After leaving Great Falls, we travelled to Garrison, MT. Linda got to see what is involved in a travel day for an Rver.
1 day after we arrived the power went out to the park. Neil got massive and very heavy generator out and got us back on power. Within minutes 3 camp workers (Golf Cart Brigade) rode up to him to inquire how much longer he would be using his generator. Neil told him when the power is restored to the park. One of the men said, the power is back on. We were flipping switches this morning, not realizing we had turned power off. (We can definitely laugh about it now).
We found a locals hidden gem off the highway call Nimrod Springs. It took us 2 days of looking for it, but then we finally asked a local who gave us directions.
One day we drove to the Georgetown Lake so that I could take Linda Kayaking. We laughed a lot!
Great Falls KOA
I am sure if Linda saw this picture, she would not be happy, but too bad LOL!
Took a nice evening walk, on our last evening in Great Falls, MT. Enjoyed the sunset, saw a Wolf Spider, and several deers.

Took another evening walk last evening in Garrison, MT; saw several ducks and a lame duck that is cared for here at the park (We believe). Also have been enjoying playing the Mexican train game with my sister Linda.

The Clark Fork river was a short 3-5 minute walk from the park. The 3 of us played in the water a few times, but 1 day Linda decided to go on a intertube down the river. She went down the river all right. Fell in once as Neil is trying to help her navigate around a blocked path, lost one of her sandals. Got back on her flamingo in search of other sandal floating down river. Thought was, we would pick her up in the truck somewhere down the river. LOL we had to launch the drone after we received a call from her that she is trying to walk back with 1 sandal and a large pink flamingo. Unfortunately there was no paths for her to get to a road, so she had to walk the entire way back with 1 sandal. We did have fun playing in the water after she returned from her very own adventure LOL (See YT video above)
The frog I almost killed, trying to video him/her when I dropped the gopro on it when we went looking for Linda down river

Took a drive to Nimrod hot springs, Montana. It only took 2 days of traveling in circles, until a local told us how to find it. The GPS coordinates to make it easier for others to find and enjoy is 46.705-113.457.
Had a fun time Kayaking with my sister on Georgetown Lake in Montana. It took us a little bit to get in sync with each other, but we eventually got it, but had a lot of fun laughing as we went in a circle. We saw fishing jumping out of the water trying to catch bugs, and what we believe is a cottonwood bush causing cottonwood to be falling to ground like snow.

Hiliraous video!!! Click the YouTube video in the beginning of this post to see.
Had such a great time with my sister during the last week. Can’t wait until I see her again and so many more family members in Colorado Springs, in September
7/8/24 UPDATE WE WON! See unofficial ruling below! We won our Court case against Thousand Trails Management Services and Equity Lifestyles the Parent company for falsely terminating our membership! On 6/27/24 We had our Court case where the judge read all the evidence submitted. The VP representative for Equity Lifestyle tried to evade the judges questions as to who owns the Soledad Canyon RV park in Acton, CA. He kept trying to say that the name "Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon" does not exist. The judge asked- I am confused- who owns "The Soledad Canyon RV park", to which he responded " MHC Thousand Trails". Judge asked who own "MHC Thousand Trails" to which the VP responded very quietly "Equity Lifestyle Management"! The judge asked about if there was an offer to settle and the VP said yes we believe we offered $2000 but they declined. The judge then asked if we attempted to contact to settle to which I responded yes Judge multipl
From July 5-8, 2021, We stayed 3 days at the Willow Bay RV resort via our Coast to Coast membership. The views were spectacular, but the park not so much, fortunately we paid 0 dollars. Some sites have only 1 pedastal for 3 sites that have to share causing 1 of the people to have to back into site. This park is also has no sewer hookup, nor a dump station. If we have to stay at this park again, it will most likely just be for a 1 night stay. We left Nine Miles and headed to Newport, Wa to the Thousand Trails Newport and Diamond Lake KOA. When you enter the park the registration is on the right where the KOA and dump stations are located. There is no sewer at this park and they make sure to tell you when you arrive and the many signs also indicating no sewer. The sites are first come first serve with water and 30 amp service. We found a incredible site nestled in the trees, though the power pedastal was on the opposite site of the RV. Luckily we had an extension cord. We rode our b
We arrived to the Blue Anchor Rv park in Osburn, Idaho for the 4th of July holiday. Just a 2 minute bike ride out of the park is the Trail of the Coer'd'Alene. The trail is 73 miles long and paralles the Cour'd'Alene river. We rode on the trail several times during our stay. Several hours after arriving we set out on our first ride, heading west, riding 6 miles. The views were so stunning. The next day on 4th of July, we set off, this time heading east on the trail. We rode through the town of Wallace. It was a really cute town, and looked like a great place to relax outside and eat, but it was too early in the morning for us to stop to eat. We found many places along the trail with plenty of shade and picnic tables or benches to sit and enjoy the Coeur'd'Alene river. We had such a wonderful time riding this trail and plan to ride more of the trail on future visits along the trail.
