Our little hickup in Bozeman

We went to the Grizzly Encounter yesterday after we had breakfast. We saw four bears that were born in captivity and will never be able to go back into the wild. It was really interesting. Helena took over fifty photos alone. I only took a few. The smaller bear would run up to the male and slap it and run away. It was funny. She was more agile than the 600 pound male.

This was the two five year olds sparring in the pond.

This is Jacob, the five year old male, begging for peanuts from the keeper. He was a riot. When it was time for him and the female, Maggie, to go back to their den, he decided he wanted to swim some more. He wanted to decide for himself when he was going in.

This is Maggie hunting for the peanuts that the keeper threw.

Today we dropped off the RV to have the radiator fixed. Friday we were getting fuel and found a coolant leak (big time.) So we're stuck here in Bozeman until at least Thursday. This is the cabin we are occupying until the RV is fixed.

Our bed.

Helena's bed.

This is how we collected the drips so we wouldn't ruin the parking site. Erv emptied it ever 10 or so hours.

Cute, right.

Helena has been entertaining herself in the pool. The heat has been bad today and we sat out in the shade to catch some breezes. Helena's big job is finding and directing us to places to eat. She did a good job for tonight. The place was a lodge way out a dirt road and the food was great.

We'll let you know how our first night goes. Helena got some bug spray so she would feel better about the bugs and spiders on our porch. Maybe she'll be able to sleep because we got up at eight this morning. Aside from that we're having a good time.
