In response to my family’s comments regarding the lack of entries and photos, I’m afraid to say that for some reason I’ve had less enthusiasm in writing my blog lately. It’s got to be a little boredom in my writings, but I will get over it soon. Having been either at Farragut or here in Coeur d’Alene for the last 3 months (the longest we have ever stayed in one place since January 2004), I’ve found myself being too much of a “couch potato”… well maybe not, but it’s been pretty much the same ole chores, scenery, and…hell, it’s just that I really want to get back on the road !!! Inevitably when writing a daily journal over the last 4+ years, I’m lucky this was the first real dry period. I know, it’s all the politics…the economy…old age…who knows??? Actually it’s not all that bad. We’ve really been enjoying ourselves a lot. We’ve had a couple of wonderful meals (and I do mean “WONDERFUL MEALS”) at Frank and Lynn’s home, met Larry and Pauline for dinner in town a couple of times (great company, incredibly bad food) and had a chance to meet Sid and Julie, good friends of Lar and Paul’s. Sid and Julie own StanCraft Boats here in Coeur d’Alene. They build some of the most beautiful “Classic Custom Wooden Boats” you will ever see and I wanted to put their web address here for you to see ( www.stancraftboats.com ). Stan also has re-built a stunning 1934 Cadillac Sedan.

Not only is the exterior of this car PERFECT, We met at Spokane’s Antique Merry-Go-Round in the park and headed out to find the best hotdog stand in town. I’ve got to tell you, this “German” hotdog I had was the best hotdog I’ve ever had and we even had to eat it while sitting at the curb right in front of the largest bank in town. Heck, it was just like one of our best haunts in Cabo… Louise and I even rode the tram which travels down over the Spokane River and the dam. We haven’t taken that ride since it first opened with the Spokane World’s Fair in 1974…we had some wonderful memories. The fairgrounds have changed considerably but I think to the best, it is quite beautiful, especially when it’s warm and the sun is shining. Last night the campground had a special visitor… A rider rode up on his bicycle, set up his tent, pulled out his cooking gear and quickly made his dinner. Now I know that this doesn’t always indicate “a special visitor”, but Chris and his Nomad Adventure are. Chris has ridden his bicycle through 5 CONTINENTS and is still going. He is from France and has traveled over 20,000 miles so far…summer, winter, spring, and fall. You might want to check-out his web-site
