Cavanaugh Bay (66S) RV friendly

I'm ready to go back

Made it back to 66S this weekend. Kris had to catch up on some work stuff, but I got a kitchen pass to go to the SARL race in Couer d 'Alene(KCOE). Going over was going to be rough with afternoon build-ups and 90+ temps. But finally left around 5pm.... 1.5hrs later I was at the Prerace BBQ at KCOE. 45 people I think and a mountain of succulent BBQ ribs

The local British car club came out to show off some amazing Austin Healys and MG's.


After visiting a bit, I followed Stephen & Melissa (Race 771) to Cav for a place to pitch my tent. Along the short route between KCOE and 66s


Cavanaugh Bay dead ahead. Beautiful evening


Token shot of the camping lineup.


The Camphost must have known I was coming, he got the big coffee maker out. Black morning nectar....I was up at 0500 and started draining it.

Race day

Stephen pulled down 3rd place overall at 219mph.


All fun must end and after it looked like the afternoon clouds would lay down a bit, I launched for home.
under, over or around...Yes.

pretty if you're just weaving around them


evening bliss and 15kt tailwinds too.


Then I hit the smoke....welcome home. this is 50west of Helena as I started my descent

Plan to stop in there Tuesday on our way home from Seattle. There is food near the airport right? If I can't feed the family I will have to pick another spot.

plenty of really good food, <400yds from parking. Kids might even want to take a swim off the dock.
