Day ride part-4

Okay, last set of photos. I ran out of time last night as I was adding information to these photo sets. I took the photos on Saturday. I added all the photos and saved as drafts on Tuesday, added the words on Wednesday, and finished today, Thursday.

The first two photos are a continuation of the last post and the stop on the way back down.

Top photo, Stacy standing next to her favorite Honda quad.




In the second photo I was trying to show how dirty the quads had gotten from the dusty trails. Even though it had rained a few days before, and there were some really nice stretches of damp and dust free trail, most of it was kicking up a lot of dust. Even trying to drift back and keep a distance between each quad, the way the wind was blowing that afternoon kept the dust clouds close to the trail and on us!Its easiest to tell on the little tail gate of the Polaris. It is supposed to be black and not tan! It was the kind of dust that you pat your leg and a small cloud would drift off!

The last photo was our last stop as we made our way back to the truck and trailer down by the highway.
We were getting pretty low and it was pretty hot about 90 which is HOT for this area!
It was actually a really nice ride. By our odometers on the Polaris and Yamaha, the Honda doesn't have a speedometer, it was 32 miles round trip from the trailer to the top of the mountain and back to the trailer.
Stacy has to be in Pocatello all next week so we're planning a really long ride for the weekend after she gets back. We're going to take advantage of the fact you can ride the ATV's on the roads around here and start from our house and ride up to another area mountain East of us and catch the Forrest Service roads on the back side and ride down to the river then back. Should be a lot of fun. They'll be more photos then! Tad

Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

O.M.G.! I haven't posted since February!!!!!

I knew it has been a while, a long while. Not this long though! So, readers in the either, if there are any still around, what's been going on with our life adventure? The high points since February 2018: 1. We almost bought a new truck. 2. While we didn't finally buy a truck in late March, we traded in two-vehicles and bought a 2018 Toyota, Rav4 Hybrid, CUV ( C ompact 'sports'  U tility V ehicle). 3. We had a fantastic summer trip with the granddaughters spending 9 days in Yellowstone last July. The bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer we bought July 2017 right after our June trip in 2017, proved to be the BEST way to comfortably sleep and house the 5 of us, me, Stacy, Sandy, and the granddaughters, for a trip. 4. In August we got Stacy the one RV trailer she's been wanting for several years now, a Winnebago Micro-Minnie, a 20-foot long travel trailer that sleeps two. Stacy used it for a week-long business trip to Boise for state-level meetings just a couple of wee...
