On the way to Idaho Falls

Photos of the trip, so far, to Idaho Falls for the 2015 IJJA Conference.






Above, Finally! Truck on and minutes away from heading out from the property. Stacy had said the night before, "I would really like us to be on the road by 8 am!" I said "no problem!" We pulled out at exactly.............. 9:03 am! Well....., I was close!



Above and below: Pulling off for a short break near Thompson Falls, Montana





Above and Below: After a while longer it was lunch time! Forget the hour time change going into Montana and Mountain time. We pulled off near a lake and enjoyed sandwiches Stacy getting the makings out and the lunchtime view out the big window. You know, this is the view in all the RV ads but in reality they're often hard to come by. It was a very nice lunch break view though. The haze was from still burning forest fires in the general area.





Our first night was at the Missoula, Montana, KOA. We had a very nice site with the swing, table and chairs. We had our dinner on the outside table, went for a walk in the area and after getting back sat outside for awhile. 


Below: all packed up and ready to go we took some photos of the site the next morning just before leaving.


Below: taking a break at a rest area near Highway 1 in Montana off I-90. Highway 1 is a scenic byway that goes to Anaconda. Stacy and I have taken that road before, not this trip though. 





Last photo for this post, Stacy driving and I got this passenger side view of the trailer in the rear view mirror and tow mirror. 

I'll post more on the way back!

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...
