Day 6 (July 2) After a full days drive we arrived at Flathead Lake. Upon topping a long hill the sight of this huge lake spread out in front of us was spectacular! It is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi. We approached Lakeside by following the lakeshore most of the time. The little towns are picturesque. Here at Jill & Jim Seeber’s home we are parked on their front lawn with a lake view, all hook-ups available and DSL to boot. How can one argue that? At 10PM it still is not dark. As it is close to the Fourth of July and fireworks are legal in MT, there is plenty of them all around us.
