A little woodworking

Today is nice. I found a piece of half inch plywood and rebuilt the other drawer in the Motorhome.  It has been sunny and nice hear and i am getting quite the suntan. I did find an aa meeting here last night. There was 4 of us in attendance. Friday at 7pm will be another one. Should be a better turnout maybe.  The snow continues to melt in the surrounding hills which is nice as i am going to explore the Bitterroot mountains next.  I continue to loose weight as i continue on my healing journey. I have dropped over 20lbs now since i left March 19th.  After all this trip is a spiritual journey that will take me to new an undiscovered heights. I am excited to see where the future takes me as I blow with the wind which our old late friend Jim H would say.  I do miss him so.  I miss all of you and will certainly see you in just a few months. A year goes by so fast you know. 
Your friend always,
Craig W.

A New Day

Climbing mountain overlooking Hot Spring Montana

Visiting my friend Tammi in Moses Lake area WA

Stopping at Lake Missoula






Buddy in his natural environment


Saw three white tail deer

What a beautiful day to be alive.I am having a lazy day so far. So far all of the places I would like to check out around the area are still snowed in. So here we sit Buddy and I relaxing, hiking, exploring indian ruins, soaking in the mineral springs.What a life. 
I have met some amazing people here. Many are similar in many ways to folks that I grew up with in Alaska. Down to earth people that really do care for each others well being.  Quite a contrast to people that live in the cities eh. It is dog eat dog there. Even in the little town of Centralia wa where I have lived for quite a few years, I lived next door to a couple that I never even met. Is that sad or what.
I suppose one finds all types every where one goes eh. It is up to me to choose who I want to associate with. Well that gives me quite a bit of room you know,  lol.
Have I told you about the 36 year old Skate Boarder I met. She is recovering from a fractured heal. She has toured and competed with Tony Hawk and others.
I also met a 38 year old woman who competes in the 800 meter dash. She has qualified twice now in the Olympics. She had many good stories to share.
Then there is the 70 year old South Korean that appears to be in his 40s. He is so full of life and happiness. I got some very good tips from him as far as eating habits etc,,..
I am working on posting photos just as soon as possible.
I hope all of you are doing well and that your hearts are full of joy and happiness.
Love you all,
Craig and Buddy

Hot Spring Montana

Well how goes it out there in the Northwest?  I am chilling a few days in Hot Springs Montana. Weather isn't bad here. We seem to be sitting in a bowl protected by a huge mountain, Mt Baldy i think.  The clouds blow in all around here with some hail and snow but sitting in the hot springs with it blowing and snow falling sideways isn't so bad. Well write soon as you get a chance. Love you all,  Craig
