We’ve had dinner (soft tacos) and built a fire. The grandkids are roasting
…. Starbursts! Seems weird, but they like them.
After church we came back to the motorhome and had lunch. We then took the
motorhome and drove around the top of Quake Lake and Hebgen lake. An
earthquake on August 17, 1959, measuring 7.3 on the Richter Scale, killed
some 28 people, burried the road, and formed a new lake. I remember the
earthquake. I was working in Treasureton on the Workman farm at that time
and it was almost the biggest news of the century. A huge rescue effort was
required, including teams parachuting in and big helicopters rescuing
people. There is a visitors center at the place where the mountain came
down. We stopped and I stayed for the movie. It was very interesting. The
entire drive was very pretty. This is beautiful country up here. Life is
good!
