North Creek Farms has a fine garden out back where they grow their own herbs, etc.
 ...

We had a nice window view while we ate.

And who can resist a planter like this??!!

Heading back to the campground for a lazy afternoon, Julia and I felt we just had to capture this view. We had, after all, spent so much of this week following the Jordans' van. We probably should have used only one vehicle but the van was also Chuck and Ginny's bedroom, and the back of our Golf was so crammed with stuff that we all agreed it would be simpler to take two cars.
...

Today we would have a look at the north end of the island and its four beaches, starting with ...
...

... Sand Dollar Beach.
...

Even on this hot afternoon, the water was still quite cold and few people made it in any further than this.
...

Al climbed the rocks at the east end of the beach, and was rewarded with this fine view of the boats inside Flat Head.
...

Plus, I got a candid of Ginny (reading) and Julia relaxing in the warm sun (while Chuck napped in the van!).
...

From the rocks at the west end, you could see two more beaches: Bounty Cove, and Sailboat Beach beyond that.
...

We think that this was "The Pound" - the inlet behind the marina.
...

Not so wild life on Spring Beach where ...

... we ran across more ...

... Wayfarers, enjoying the sun.

Dick was already dreaming and making plans for another week-long Rally in 2006.
