Oil Change, Laundry, Bookstore, Pub
October 21, 2017 I took the truck to Jenner Chevrolet to have the oil changed, transmission flushed, tires rotated, air filter and cabin filters changed. Meanwhile Martha did laundry. After lunch we went downtown to Munro’s Books. Jane-Ashley recommended “River of Doubt” by Candice Millard. Since I enjoyed the iMax movie about about Henry Bates’…

Victoria, British Columbia
Friday, October 12, 2017 As predicted, the rains stopped at 11:00 – just in time, as I was getting cabin fever. First stop was beautiful Beacon Hill Park. As the rain still sprinkled, we walked around through flowers, trees and ponds with little connecting streams. Ducks played in the waters while peacocks and seagulls were…

Bike Newcastle Island
This is out of order. Somehow I didn’t get this posted before. Saturday, October 7, 2017 I did laundry and filled the propane tank while Martha paid bills. We extended for another day to get us through Canada’s Thanksgiving weekend, so we moved over to site 115. The site backs up to a cliff overlooking…

Coeur d’Alene and Lake Pend Oreille
Thursday, September 28, 2017 We drove south to Coeur d’Arlene for some shopping odds and ends, and found a very nice, large city library. The weBoost cell signal booster has lost its wiring connection, so we have no way of getting emails, messages or for posting the blog, so I am always looking for a…

Heyburn State Park
We visited Ralph’s restaurant in Bayview for a great breakfast and laundry next door. This is my kind of little place where the conversation is good and the people are interesting. I will add pictures from my phone later. Then we visited the boatyard with some great dock houses and lots of sailboats. The harbor…

Frustrating Problems
September 23, 2017 There are always things that get rattled loose while driving bumpy roads, but I was having trouble with some very expensive and critical technology. The solar was not charging and the weBoost that boosts cell phones was not working. We were in areas where we could plug in, and certainly Martha doesn’t…

McCall, Idaho and Ponderosa State Park
September 13-17, 2017 McCall is a nice little town on beautiful Payette Lake. It has a population of 3,278, but swells to 20,000 in the summer. Many people from Boise have summer houses around the lake. It is also a ski area in the winter. There are interesting shops and restaurants, lots of bike hiking…

Boise
September 14, 2017 Martha and I spent two days exploring a bit of Boise. We walked and biked the great riverside trail along the Boise River. What other city has a river running through it where people fish for trout? We explored downtown, shopping and had a nice lunch at Wild Root. In the evening…

Alberton to Boise
September 10, 2017 Rhonda and Martha were flying into Boise on the evening of the 12th. Then Kelly and Rhonda would be heading south to Moab, while Martha and I would head back north and west. Everything we had was covered in dust. Our trip with David couldn’t be topped, so we decided to leave…

Fish Creek
September 8, 2017 Fish Creek is 30 minutes west from River’s Edge Campground. This time there was no fly shop, no restaurant, but plenty of people fish it. The stream was low and very clear, but with many deep pools. We could not find a fly the fish wanted. Was it fished out? Had someone…
