Day 3- Hanging out in Curtis


Today was intensely windy and I really liked Mike and Marg so I decided to stay another day. Their 16 year old grandson also lives with them. He got back home from a friends after Mikegot done putting one of the boat launches in the frigid water. As soon as Zack got in his grandpa threw him a pair of waiters that were two feet to long, and told him to get in and help.

When they were done and Zack went in for breakfast, Mike, Marg and I sat out on the law and had a good talk. They have traveled all over. Once when they were in Germany a friend gave them tickets to a bed and breakfast. But what they didn't know was that it was at the top of the mountain. The train stopped at the base and the got on a "climbing" train. People started putting on winter coats, boots, snow pants, getting out their ski polls and putting on their hats. While all the natives skied from the train to the lodge, Mike and Marg trudged their way through the deep snow in the summers latest fashion.

If you look closely at the picture of the lake you will see som
ething in the water. That would be part of the dock that blew off and started sailing across the lake and Mike and Zack chasing after it in a canoe. Mike thought it would be shallow so jumped out then Zack had to stabilize the canoe so he could get back in
after he realized he was in over his head. I thought they were both going down. So the canoe failed, the rushed back and put the
fishing boat together and headed back out. The motor quite fifty yards from the dock and again, Mike jumped out and pulled them to safety.







Miles: 0


Later, Zack took me into town in the rhino to get gas and stuff for strawberry shortcake, but when we went to pay for gas, his wallet was gone, I stayed at the store as collateral...

We never found the wallet, backtracked, searched the field and tore apart the cabin. No wallet :(

They taught me a new game called UP. It's like scrabble except you can stack letters on top of words to change them and get more points. It got pretty intense and in the end, I got my butt kicked.
