Our Last Campfire at Snowberry
_1 October ‘08 Wednesday

Well our time at being a camp host at Farragut State Park has once again come to an end.  Heck, this is the second time in two months and the second time in 3 years.  I must admit, we’ve had a great time and sorry to see the summer coming to an end.  We received an email from Ralph and Susan (a couple that we met at a campground in Turkey).  On the subject line Susan wrote “In Idaho”, meaning that they were in Idaho.  What they didn’t know was that Louise and I were just 18 miles away.  They had come down from their newly built home in Calgary to stay a week in a timeshare condominium they had traded into.

_All of us were caught by surprise in this coincidence.  It’s been since the 4th of November in 2004 that Louise and I pulled into a campground in Kas, Turkey only to find a white VW Campervan from Canada sitting right next to us.  We did see each other for a quick breakfast this last December as they were heading into the Baja for the winter.  Louise and I really enjoyed their visit, short, but very enjoyable…we’ve got to do it again soon.  Now back to Farragut…  This has been a busy time for the park.  Just like Gilmore in August, Snowberry in September has been unbelievably busy.  There were quite a few mornings that we had 25 to 35 campsites to get ready for the next camper coming in.  The other day, Louise and I grabbed our ladder, put it into the car, and went up to the “Rangers Residence” area.  They have some very old and not so very well cared for apple trees.  The apples are small and aren’t very sweet but Louise wants to make applesauce.  I’ve got to hand it to her, she knows what she’s doing…the applesauce is absolutely amazing.  Well our time at Farragut has come to an end, October has arrived, and we have made the 25 miles south to Coeur d’Alene.  We are now camped within the city of CDA and will be here until the end of the month.  As we pulled into the park (Riverwalk RV Park) we were met by a couple very familiar faces.  Bruce and Peg had just returned from their European camping adventure and had beaten us here by a couple of days.  I mentioned their trip and blog in my last posting…check it out, you won’t be disappointed.  Tonight Peg joined us for the “Vice Presidential” debates and doing so, gave us lot’s to talk about.  Oh ya, I forgot to mention, we finally got our wiring problem fixed after having our new inverter put in.  We now have our microwave back…thank God.  I made an appointment with Erickson RV prior to leaving Farragut so as we pulled into CDA, we went immediately over to Erickson’s.  It is amazing how good we feel now that we have the microwave in working order.
