Rules and your question are posted on the September 13 Vagabond blog. Remember…the Vagabond wheel will spin three times tomorrow evening finding three lucky winners! Sign up and win fabulous prizes!

If you read yesterdays post, you saw these absolutely awesome red buses. Today, I saw a gorgeous specimen of the tree they tried to pattern the color of the bus from…The Mountain Ash. I guess it’s close.

Upon rising, it was very obvious the smoke was settling in thicker than yesterday so we decided to have an errand, chore day. I got a much needed pedicure while Harry grocery shopped. The laundry is done and put away, we did some banking, and visited the post office. Boring but necessary! While I was having a pedicure the young lady shared a few things we had to do while here. One was …we had to have a huckleberry milkshake at the Huckleberry Patch. So when in Columbia Falls you do what a Columbia Falls resident tells you what you must do.

We had never tasted huckleberry before…it was VERY sweet! I think Harry liked it much better than I did because he brought home a piece of pie, too!
To me, it tastes a bit like blueberry! This wasn’t the first time we saw or heard of huckleberries this week though. See below.
I can’t believe I left this picture out from yesterday. We saw four of these guys foraging for huckleberries when on the red bus tour. This fellow was probably no more than 5 feet from my side of the bus.

Contest #2 Winner finally received his prize…Brian Dorr is sporting his North Cascades National Park T-Shirt.
