Day 51 - Martindale,MT

We arrived at the Inderland’s after lunch today. It was very good to see Dick and Mary Jane. Dick was Mike’s boss in Coscom at Fort Bragg, NC from 1980 to 1982 when Dick retired and moved back to Montana and the family ranch. It was very good to see Dick and Mary Jane. We got a VIP tour of the ranch and all the streams running though the land. The berries were just getting ripe so we had a few snacks. In the past, they had beef cattle but now they only have 3 horses. Dick is trying to retire at the age of mid-70’s. He is in great shape and still ski in the winter months with his ski club. Mary Jane made us a wonderful halibut supper which was from their son’s cannery in Alaska. Greg buys fish from the fishing boats and process the fishing within 6 hours, flash freezes it and gets it on the airplane the next morning for Seattle and the fish market. We were joined by their daughter, Shannon, and her two boys for dessert. They have a camping day with Grandpa this weekend. Shannon babysat our kids at Bragg. Then we had to go 4-wheeling to see if we can find any animals. We saw couple of deer and rabbits but in our afternoon travels we saw elk and deer.
