Summer at Blackwell Island RV in Coeur d'Alene, ID

We arrived in Coeur d'Alene on April 16th and settled into Blackwell Island RV Park for our summer job.  The owners seem extremely nice and we are looking forward to going back to work. A day of rest and then it's time for grocery shopping. But first we visited Fuel Fitness and after getting the information, we decided to join. The staff seems awesome and the facility very nice. Friday April 19th, we went for our first workout, Just have to do our best to stay healthy.

I'm on the treadmill for my cardio and the television is showing DQ and Domino's Pizza commercials...LOL

                     We got settled into site #1 and I finally got our motorcoach clean.

Finally got out to do some exploring and we visited Hayden Lake which is at the north end of 

Coeur d'Alene.

                                           Brunch at "Le Peep", a nice spot on the river.

Cocktails at "Mulligan's"

Summer in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

After one month in Pahrump, NV we started our journey to the far north. We met up with our friends Tom and Cindy Inskeep and traveled together. The trip through Utah up I-15 was great, I had no idea how many beautiful mountain ranges there were in that state. We met the Inskeep in Las Vegas and started our journey from there.

We drove through a little piece of Arizona before crossing into Utah and got to experience the Virgin River Gorge. We hit about one minute of now, but the gorge was beautiful.

                            As we got into Utah, the mountain ranges became more numerous.

We decided to stay for two days in Heyburn, ID so we could rest up a little but also visit Twin Falls.  Twin Falls was a short drive from our city park and we got to enjoy the beautiful Shoshone Falls, the Snake River Canyon, and a great lunch at "Elevation 486" which overlooks the canyon.

 The Twin Falls Visitor Center was nice, and offered a couple of photo ops.

 The trip did include some adventure such as coming over Deadman Pass in Oregon. I only learned of the scary pass the morning we were headed out. Ended up not being too bad, but the unknown raised the old blood pressure for a while. It's also known as Cabbage Hill and it's 6 miles of twisting turning 6% grade downhill into Pendleton, Oregon.

                           After Oregon we drove north up highway 395 into far western Washington.

We went north until we got to I-90 and then went east through Spokane and then hit the Idaho border which is a few short miles from our destination of beautiful Coeur d'Alene.

Here is our summer destination for 2019.
