Our next stop was Missoula, Montana, at the home of Susan and Bob Stahl
Home of the Stahl Family
Front porch - wanted to spend at least a week here reading and gazing at the mountains
The side yard - frequent deer sightings
Susan and I were camp counselors together in the early 70's and haven't see each other in over 30 years! Helen and I were welcomed with open arms at their spacious home just outside of town. Wrap-around porch, view of the mountains, deer grazing nearby. So great catching up and sharing memories of summers in Minnesota. Susan and I huddled around her photo albums, laughing over fading snapshots of the two of us, braless and tan, leading camp songs and relay races on shores of Camp Lake Hubert. Also enjoyed learning about Bob's work with Native Americans. He showed us his silver smith workshop in their basement with his vast collection of tools, metals, and gem stones - beautiful jewelry!
With Bob and Susan at Cafe Dolce - delicious everything!
The next morning, Susan was up before dawn packing a generous stash of travel goodies, including fruit smoothies in mason jars and fresh brewed coffee in Montana souvenir mugs. With promises to reunite again soon, we headed off in the cool morning - up the mountain and into a cloud at the next pass.
