OMG!!! At this point we found that our new comunication system worked wonderful and we ...

The house is a mess and I can't sleep. We are preparing to leave on our first snowbird adventure. As would be expected things are taking longer to get done than planned and disorganization is the rampant. Dan took our car to Spokane to get the tow hitch installed and we hope to leave Sandpoint on Wednesday 10/8 with the coach to get hooked back up with the car. Towing a car behind 36 feet of house is ...

... bumpy - I left my seat more than once. This is where I parted company with Mike and Brigitte and struck east on my own. And where I found the heat... The interior of Washington, much like BC, is very desert like, including the temperatures. My bike thermometer (in Fahrenheit) quickly registered 100F and stayed that way for over 6 hours!

... had fireworks and would you believe, hundreds and hundreds of people turned out for my birthday party! It was so nice of them all to come!

We (Simon, Heather and myself) headed off just after lunch on Friday to head across the border as we were going to spend Saturday at the Silverwood Amusement Park near Sandpoint, Idaho. The trip started slow as myself and Simon had stayed up the night before having a few drinks with Sam who had just hit town and weren't in our peak state of mind.

... of Highway 56 and Interstate 200, sits a campground. The warden, a friendly lady whose car bumper stickers indicated staunch support for the activities of the U.S. Army, spoke cheerfully of nocturnal bear visits and disappearing cats.
