Oct 14, 2019 - Pocatello, ID

I-80 to US 30 to I-15 into Ft. Hall, Idaho staying at Buffalo Meadows RV Park at Shoshone Bannock Casino. We had to have more warranty work done on our rig with Ryan Smith. Stayed here two nights. We met Jackie and Elden once again for dinner as they were staying in Pocatello on their way home.

Sep 21, 2019 - Last week in Idaho

Time is getting short here in Idaho. Great bike paths along the Boise River that we had fun cruising. Also biked to another special event at a local park with Julie and little Ori. He loved the bounce room and the slides. They visited our "tiny house on wheels" again and got to push all the fan buttons in the rig, then hit the pool to cool off. Had some great asian eats at Ling and Louie's Restaurant with friends Dave and Amy and saw the movie Downton Abbey. Last stop was the local Farmers Market to load up on goodies for the road. Next...

Sep 21, 2019 - Caldwell/Boise

The drive from Burns to Caldwell started out reprising the high desert look of the trip to Burns. But things changed as we moved farther east and the landscape became hilly with some interesting rock features. We would learn more about those rocks later. We arrived at the Ambassador RV Resort between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. It is a well-equipped park with an ordinary but very functional layout. We had a 50-amp, full-hookup site with wide open sky for satellite. The WIFI is the best we have found. The only downside is that the park is...

Sep 19, 2019 - Over to Coeur d'Alene, ID

Today’s journey to Coeur d’Alene Elks was just 3.5 hours covering 176.2 miles. From Omak we were climbing in altitude on State Route 155 southward towards Coulee Dam over Disautel Pass at 3,252’. It is the main north/south route through the Coulee Dam area. We traveled through the Colville Indian Reservation lands. This is the Northern Section Coulee Corridor Scenic Byway that continues south along Banks Lake down past Moses Lake to Othello. We split off at Highway 174 to take US Route 2 towards Spokane. Here's more information about the...

Sep 11, 2019 - More Idaho

This has been a split week. Mary went to visit her friend; Verdell, in Brookings Oregon and I stayed in Boise. She got to go through the Redwoods and visit the beach. I got to ride bikes with the kids, go to an Art Festival and host grandson; Ori at our bus. He was fascinated with our "tiny house on wheels". Anything that spins... So our washer / dryer and our many fans got a workout. As did our slides, blinds and Awning. And, when he felt he needed to get his wiggles out, he got on our vibrating machine. Once Mary returned, w hit the...

Sep 3, 2019 - Pocatello, Idaho

Headed into Pocatello, ID to Boats and RV's For Less to have some repair work done on our Fifth Wheel. What we were hoping would take a day ended up taking two days. Ryan Smith invited us to stay at his home for the night as the RV was not done so we did. Enjoyable dinner and evening with he, his friend Danny and his son Tyler. Unfortunately his wife, Robyn, was out of town. After discovering our RV wouldn't be done until late the next day, he offered to take us on his jet boat on the Snake River. We had a great time on a hot day traveling...

Sep 2, 2019 - Declo, Idaho

Leaving Mountain Home we headed east on I-84 to Declo, ID for one night. We stopped in Twin Falls and had our rig and truck washed which is always a good feeling. Just stayed one night as we needed to head into Pocatello to Ryan's for some repair work on the RV.

Aug 31, 2019 - Mountain Home, Idaho

Heading out on Hwy 26 to I-84 we drove to Mountain Home, Idaho where we planned to stay two nights at Mountain Home RV Park, another favorite. Our granddaughter, Ashley, was in the Salt Lake City area for a wedding on Saturday, the 31st and discovered we were a stop on their way home on Sunday. So she and Tim, her boyfriend, stopped by Sunday afternoon and stayed with us for the night. We had a good visit and they headed out early Monday morning and we packed up and headed toward Declo, ID.

Aug 31, 2019 - Boise

At Ambassador RV in Caldwell Idaho. Hanging out with daughter; Julie, Son in- law Andrew and grandson Ori. Visited a nature park, and got to have brunch and game time. Ori is such a happy boy and seems interested in all things that spin: fans, dryers. Washing machines... He is so funny. Rafted down the Boise River. It's a fun time through the middle of downtown, but it's so clear and you dont even know there is a city nearby. Small rapids but mostly moving at 2 miles an hour. Water was freezing but had a great time.

Aug 24, 2019 - Fun With Family

We had a wonderful time with family this week. Our son rented A nice home right down the road from our campground. It was a two-bedroom cabin with plenty of room for everyone. He came with Jared and Madison and our precious granddaughter Piper. She has really grown since we saw her a few months ago. She is absolutely one of the sweetest babies, she hardly ever cries and smiles at you every time you look at her. We cooked a large ham and had a feast with everyone on the first day. The next day we all drove to Alpine where our son rented us...

Aug 23, 2019 - 19th STOP - Mountain Home, ID

8/23/19 - Another long day partly because we crossed the Mountain Time Zone. Now we are only two hours behind Eastern Time. Two more days of driving before we get to sit for three nights. I hate to admit the driving is getting very tiring. When we left Pendleton this morning we climbed 3,000 feet on a winding road before reaching a relatively straight road to use the cruise control at 63 mph. We have been at the Mountain Park 3 times. We have a paved site with a paved patio. Just about the nicest RV Park we have been in. A great place to...

Aug 20, 2019 - Blanchard ID

The drive to our overnight stay at a really nice city run campground in Potlatch, Idaho on Friday was fine and on schedule so luckily there is nothing to report...Saturday’s journey was not quite as fine. What was supposed to be a 2 hour drive from Potlatch to our next home at the beautiful Stoneridge Golf & Resort http://stoneridgeidaho.com/ in Blanchard, Idaho turned into a 3 hour tour. We left Potlatch right on time but about 25 minutes into the drive things ground to a halt because of a fatal accident near Tensed that had happened about...
