Catching up

May 24: Nice relaxing evening in Burns,Oregon. Now on to McCall,Idaho. What a beautiful place. We decided to shut down for 4 days. Let Sobaka and Jo calm down, do laundry, clean Rv(very therapeutic)and take some gorgeous rides in the country. Our campsite was right on the Payette River. Hopefully, I am able to include a picture.(Still learning) They had a late winter so spring is now showing its colors. We visited the Ponderosa State Park, which had to cancel all its Memorial week-end reservations because of snow and downed trees. It was quiet and nice for us to take a long walk. Of course, as we were leaving we found our first(hope only)lost dog. We left him with the Rangers who said they would track down the owner. Visited the Smoke Jumpers facilities and had a great tour since we were the only visitors.







May 28: Headed up Idaho on Hwy 12 and spent the night in Kamiah. Every night we have had thunderstorms and rain but nice during the day. Campsite was nice but very very muddy. I don't think we brought enough dog towels for clean-up. Hope the health department can't find us. The best part of this campground was the restaurant. Our dinner was Larry's favorite MEATLOAF. The cost of dinner for both was about $15.00 and we were able to get two meals off of it. LIFE IS ABOUT THE SIMPLE THINGS!!!!





May 29: Hwy 12 is a beautiful drive as it follows a river most of the time. We had a little rain but those spring flowers were still starting to peek through. One nice thing on back roads there is very little traffic so we were able to poke along and really enjoy the views.





May 30: After reaching Missoula,Montana, we picked up Hwy200, it is a scenic route to Great Falls. Cattle ranching and some farming country. Still raining most nights but nice during the day. Had a good visit with Jo's Mom and brother and his grandson. We also took Jo's Mom to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. She had never been there even though she has lived in Great Falls for years. Met a nice couple who were waiting for their friends who broke down in Billings, Montana. When they arrived they headed for Alaska. We were invited to join them but decided we couldn't do it. He helped me figure out my Wi-fi but I have not been able to get it since. Oh, what a learning trip! We have been staying in touch with them with their blog. He is the one who talked me into trying a blog.


On the Road Again,


Larry and Jo
