This morning was less stormy and my totes held up outside against the rain.
Who needs skyboxes when you have two sea kayaks? Every morning / evening I have to climb up on top of the suub and bail all the water from the cockpits of the boats and make sure no water got into the dry compartments.
I forgot half my shower stuff this morning and someone left a big nasty girl thing on the shower floor . Hot weather though!
James and Jamie made oatmeal breakfast this morning and we all ate out of the pot. Everyone kept dropping things ha. James spilled the oatmeal everywhere then Jamie dropped her spoon then James just threw the whole pot of oatmeal we were eating on the ground, thank you oatmeal for being sticky..
This is a really ugly place in northwestern North Dakota . It's all oil and trucks and dirt and its horrible. I have never seen so many trucks in my whole life, not just he average trucks, the ones with the extend mirrors and thy are all just so big. The houses are all quick made things, many of them just flipped over semi trailers with stairs up to them. We even saw a hotel made out of box cars. Not a place I want to spend any sort of time in.
We got a little ways out of town, into montana, still ugly but our nerves were beginning to settle and the trucks were thinning.
We needed coffe pretty bad and the oatmeal had left the station and we needed gas. We found a little station, I pumped gas this time, we have been taking turns and logging prices. James went into get coffee.
I walked in the store to see it wasn't a store, just a cement room with four vending machines, two for coffee, one for pop and one for drinks. James was standing there half crouched infringement of the coffee dispenser with his hand in the little door trying to hold his mug straight. He wasn't doing a very good job bhajahhahaha all the coffee was running down the outside of the cup. Then he tried to get chips and they got stuck, we gave up and walked to the store across the street.

Grace : holy wahh, tell your chefs that was the fastest burger ever made
Waiter : haven't you ever been to Burger King ?
We just pulled into a campground on the south side of glacier. The mountains are beautiful and still spotted with snow that radiates in te sunlight.
James was pretty sure te campground would be really expensive, but this one is small and only asks for 10 a night.
We did a lap and found a spot on the east end, right across the street from the mountains and between bear and elk skat.
I can't find James. I went to the bathroom and his shoes are here but he isn't. I can't find a note I checked the bathroom and bikes the campground four times, checked across the street an up the trail to the woods by are camp. No where.
I just ran into a couple walking there dogs and asked if they had seen a boy my age, the lady really didn't seem to know what my age was. She said she saw a guy on a bike ( that was me ) but no one walking. She then proceeded to tell me that I need to be reading my bible on this journey and getting to know Jesus. That we will be meeting him soon....
I did another lap and still no James, talked with the camp hosts again who still hasn't seen him. I figured he was fine, probably looking for service and got carried away, but still pissed he did t let me know, this is bear and moose country an we go to school or this kind of stuff. I really am turning into such a mom.
So James is back, walked up telling me about the moose tracks. I think he could tell I was on edge. I tried to take a deep breath and hold back but I could t. Where did you go why did. You leave a note!!!! I was looking for you for 30 minutes. He just said he was sorry, he didn't go far an turned back. Man, I really am a mom, sorry mom for all the times I never told you where I was going.
The camp hosts are pretty cool. They just polished off a bottle of red wine, have three dogs and are from Texas. We will be drinking dads booze wine later
