STILL STICKY

Anther day of pine sap and curse words! Kathe is tearing my hair out! I try very hard to avoid the sticky pine branches, but it's impossible. It doesn't seem fair that Gianni and Lady Bella don't have any problems, I guess there white fur isn't as fine as mine. They walk the same paths that I walk and remain sap free.

Today they left us doggies home and went exploring in the town of Bonners Ferry. The town has grown up along the banks of the Kootenai river. It was a fur trading post that became a permanent settlement when the ferry was established as a means of transportation into Canada. There is now a very high and beautiful bridge across the river.

They planned to take a drive along the river in the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge. After about a mile into the refuge they found out that it was closed for a drainage repair. They turned around and headed back to Old Town Bonners Ferry which has been revitalized with restored buildings, shops and antique stores for the tourists to enjoy. They had a great lunch there and did some antique shopping before heading back to the campsite.
