Neal and Randa are really good friends from Venture Out. They live in Lakeside when not in Arizona.

Linda and I spent three days in Lakeside, hiking, eating, painting, and getting ready to travel into Canada before heading to Europe. Lakeside is a beautiful town on the shore of Flathead Lake. Randa’s house has great views of the lake and the surrounding Mission Mountains.

Neal took us to one of his favorite hikes in Montana, a four mike hike to the Holland Lake falls. Afterwards we stopped for a post-hike beer in Woods Bay.

Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be seeing Neal and Randa in a few days in France.

Au revoir . . .
