We had just gotten back from Jackson yesterday; had a wonderful day off, exploring around the area. Joan picked up a new rubber washer for the bathroom sink at a hardware store while we were in Jackson. While she was installing it, I was helping by staying out of the way... grabbed a short nap on the couch. I woke up with a start when the whole coach shook... "What the hell are you doing up there?" I called to her. I thought the plumbing repair must be going REAL bad.
"Nothing," she said, "I thought that was you!"
We both looked around to see if someone was messing with the 5th wheel. Apparently, someone was - Mother Nature, with a 4.8 earthquake centered about 40 miles southeast of us. No damage to us, but a new respect for how these beautiful mountains across the lake from us were created.

Shake and Bake...
I forgot to mention, there was a forest fire about a mile away from Colter Bay. It started late Tuesday, likely caused by lightning. We saw the small smoke plume when we came home on Wednesday... fire equipment heading towards it. Today, that side road is closed off, but close enough to the main road that you can see the area is still smoldering. A sign posted said the fire has been contained. Tis the season.

Thank you for great weather on Herb's and my breakfast cruise -- I enjoyed learning that Olivia and others got to see the black bear! Awesome!
Hi Wilma,
Hope you two are having BIG fun in the PNW! It was great to see you two; we'll look forward to more of that this fall.
