Jun 21, 2010 - Cascade

We have been having a great time here in Cascade. The campground is right on the Payette River and our three sites are facing the river. We caught some fish yesterday and plan on doing more today. Penny, Carole, Adrienne, Carl and Aja walked up to the state park and lake and said it is beautiful. Fishing is suppose to be good there, so I am sure Rich, Robert and I will be there. Got some rain yesterday afternoon and evening which was the first since we left the south. It is 40 degrees this morning and the sun is shining. For our friends...

Jul 1, 2009 - A Second Week at Lake Cascade

Our original plan after returning from Bear was to stay one more night at the Lake Cascade campground, then head on up to Redfish Lake to await our “call“. But after talking to our supervisor up there I was informed that the refurbishing of our campground loop would not be completed by the 4th of July.

While there it POURED down rain and we felt sorry for the guy who was working on it while parked along the uncovered shop. At one point I told Barb "we're going to just sit at Wal-Mart until this stops" once we got the rig back, but by the time he finished, the cloud burst had stopped and off we went. I'm always a little leery of having anything done to the rig and then taking off into the mountains on a narrow two lane road...

Aug 9, 2006 - Cascade, Idaho

This morning I slept later than I had intended -- but, well, I'm on vacation, right? It was a little after noon by the time I got to the Cascade Flea Market to see friends, Loretta and Esther. They have a large booth chock full of pretty wall art, antique and vintage jewelry and other items. I bought a cuff bracelet with a spring hinge and navy stones, a pair of small gold hoop earrings with one each black and white pearl dangles and a gold chain with navy setting. They look very nice. Loretta and Esther treated me like royalty. Loretta...
