6/17/14

We moved from Laclede to Coeur D'Alene, ID yesterday.  Our time in Idaho is almost over, for now. We plan to visit the south 1/2 of the state along with The Teton Range and part of Yellowstone again (parts were still closed the 1st 2 times we went there) on our way from Oregon to Utah when we get back from Alaska. We have had an incredible time here, beautiful scenery, very nice campgrounds, and super friendly people.

For the next 2 days, we will get to know the group we will be traveling with for the next 59 days.  We met several of them, including the Wagon Masters & Tail Gunners from Fantasy RV Tours.  This is going to be a blast.  There will be 22 RVs and 2 leaders/follower RVs, so there will be 48 folks on this adventure.  We head out Thursday morning, first stop is Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia. The big thing on the agenda is a last chance to fix anything that needs repairing/added to our motor home.  Barb & I are off to Spokane again to pick up a spare serpentine belt & fuel filter for the engine, just in case something fails...good insurance.  Our coffee maker has died too, so we will pick one of those up too.  All the folks we have met so far seem really excited to get going and seem like super folks...59 days together may change that opinion, but we are here to have a good time, not worry about someone else's drama...that is what the leaders are for.

Our last night in Laclede was rainy, but we had a bunch of firewood to dispose of...nice campfire seemed like the best way.  So we sat out there and enjoyed a nice fire...nice evening, even if it was raining part of the time.  I am going to reiterate, the Army Corps of Engineers have some really nice campgrounds, use them if you have the chance.  We stayed for 13 nights for $175...hard to beat. Enjoyed the place a lot!!

We plan to keep up this report as best we can, depending on the internet connections along the way. It will likely be Radium Hot Springs before we make another post.  Stay tuned, lots to come.
