Idaho and back to Canada for a day

We drove to Coeur d'Alene, ID, actually so we could drive back into Canada to visit boating friends Conny and Alvin.  Unfortunately, Conny wasn't' home, but we did have a great visit with Alvin.  It is only 100 miles from our WM in ID to their house.  Creston is a beautiful valley, tucked between mountain ridges.  This "garden" area in the picture is the nursery that Conny and Alvin used to own.

We could really watch this storm rolling in!

In fruit season, migrant pickers arrive.  Many are collage kids who live in tents and consider it a great adventure for the summer.  After work, they often go to this deep gorge to cool off.  Look carefully and find the 2 chairs on the ledge on the right!

Today we drove in the tourist town of Coeur d'Alene.  There is an enormous resort there, right on the lake.  HORDES of sunbrella covered boat slips.

In addition to boating, you can play on the beach, get a seaplane ride...

Or go parasailing.

No exciting plans for tomorrow.  We hope to make it to either Bozeman or Billings, MT, making progress eastward.
