Sorry we haven’t posted in a while but we have both been a bit under the weather with colds and are trying to get back to 100%. We are now in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, at the Blackwell Island RV Park where our 60 day Alaska Tour will begin next week. We left Bear Den RV Park in Grangeville, Idaho, four days ago where as you can see, we took a picture of an Aspen tree which was on our site. We had to include this picture because of what we learned about these trees from a previous tour guide who pointed out the “eyeballs” or what looks like eyeballs on the bark of these trees. He said that many people will not even pee in the woods because they feel like they are being stared at. (Hey, it was funny when he said it!) Can you imagine a forest of eyeballs staring at you?
The trip through Idaho was quite a change in scenery from red rock and mountains to beautifully rolling hills with gorgeous evergreens, cattle, horses, and the greenest grass you can imagine. We passed so many huge farms and ranches along the way. We traveled Hwy. 95 and followed most of the Little Salmon River through quaint small towns full of fishermen, boondockers, cowboys, steak eaters and believe it or not coffee houses. We could not believe the coffee cafes and drive-ins in this part of the country that have more combinations than Starbucks can even imagine. Who knew? This ride to Coeure d’Alene was something new around each curve and we are really looking forward to the next part of the trip. Aren’t you?
