Summer Update

Been awhile since we posted. The kids and grandkids came for a visit. The photos are one from our hike around Tubbs Hill looking onto the CDA Resort & Marina. Barb and I do a walk around the floating boardwalk every couple of days. Have to admit, this is a fantastic place to spend the summer :) Other photo is the 4 generations on the folks' back deck. Ray (97) Barb's dad, Bruce (s0n-in-law), Todd (grandson) and of course me :P

Summer Home

All settled in the RV park here in Coeur d'Alene. Barb's parents are glad that we're here to help with the summer yardwork. The Coeur d'Alene Rv "resort" has a great heated indoor pool and gym so we may even lose a few pounds this summer. The temps here are continuing the "unseasonable" trends and staying in the 50's & 60's with pretty regular rain, but that will end soon and we should be seeing a more normal summer. Considering the alternative 100 degree temps in Tucson, we'll adapt just fine :)

Our Verizon broadband is working good and we added a Cradlepoint WiFi router and amp so we'll stay connected for the summer. After losing the awning on the trip up, we decided to go for a 10x10 gazebo for our "patio". We plan on staying here through September and will then head back south to Twin Falls for Kevin's dad's knee surgery. By the end of October we'll know if we're returning to CDA to continue caring for Barb's parents, or heading back to Tucson. Stay tuned......

On the Road

We left Twin Falls today and headed west on I-84. 45 miles out of town our awning decided to unfurl :( Nothing like doing RV repair on the side of the freeway. The wind was howling and we could tell the fabric was toast, so I grabbed the razor knife and Barb now has several yards of outdoor cushion fabric. Guess I know what I'm getting for my birthday now.

We continued through the strong headwinds into Baker Oregon where it combined with rain. Up and over the blues and we're now settled in for the evening at the Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton. Hopefully the awning was the only problem for the trip....

The Week in Twin Falls

Finishing up the week in Twin Falls. We head to Coeur d'Alene Tuesday(tomorrow). Never found the big oil leak on the bus, so we'll head down the road and stop in Boise for another look. Got to drive the Cadillac. Will leave it here for now but may come down and get it for a second car in CDA Helped dad with his Ercoupe. He's in the middle of a major rebuild before the July airshow.

Cooler Temps Ahead

Made it to Twin Falls. Enjoying (and adjusting) to the cooler temps. Will spend a few days here finding and fixing oil leaks, etc. Should be in Coeur d'Alene by the 20th.

Vegas Baby!

Made it to Vegas for 2 nights catching up with old friends. Heading to Twin Falls Idaho next. Will be there for the next 2 weeks, then on north to Coeur d'Alene to settle in for the summer.

The Summer Adventure Begins

After many long days and nights we're finally packed and ready to head north to Idaho. We depart early tomorrow morning and will make it to exciting and scenic Needles California. Next day we'll head into Vegas for a 2 night stay to see some old friends. We should be arriving in Twin Falls by Thursday the 8th. We'll spend a couple of weeks at Kevin's parent's house, then off to Coeur d'Alene where we'll be staying the rest of the summer. We now have Verizon Mobile Broadband so we can keep up the posts and communications as we travel.....stay tuned.
