Back at last..

I flew in from washington dc the airlines had lead me to believe i had a direct flight! Well that was not true. The connection was 2 hours late. The plane arrived and then there was a problem with the cockpit door..another 45 mins. Then the crew cant fly and we wait for new crew. It was afafter 2am when the plane landed. When i saw a camping sign in Hungry Horse i went for it. I drove over the dam still trying to find camping. Finally a gravel road to the right. I take it. The drive was a bit spooky lots of dead trees. Now i see its a steep mountain with a road cut, no place for the tent. So i find a wide spot in the road and park. I rearrange the stuff in the car. Set the ice chest outside and d blow up my air mattress. I sleep till sunrise..peek out and wow i can see a wonderful lake below me. I go back to sleep for a while, i hear on vehicle drive by, much later i hear a sound like the bike when i am coasting did ssomeone spin the back tire of my bike? Then i hear footsteps in the gravel comming up the road. They are at the car now and i decide to stick my head out of the sleeping bag and here is 3 deer, a mom and 2 young ones looking in the window at me. This was my night ata hungry horse dam.
