We explored the the main attractions in this small beautiful town, the railroad depot,the bordello house and had a picnic near the theater.

Actually we expected to see many people on the streets and were quite surprised to see that the place has so little visitors especially on Saturday.

We booked a place to the old theater and saw a melodrama about mining and trying to trick the one that found gold, at the end of the show we had a chance to meet the young actors and have a chat.

On the following day we did a side trip through some ghost towns and tunnels and tried to imagine how people lived with these conditions in the past.

Fern Falls was of course on our list ,a 15 mile gravel road drive and a short hike brought us to this fabulous falls, we ere there all by our selves till we got back to the truck and found one more family as they came in, this is what is great in this huge country -so many great natural places to visit and see so it will be crowded only in the most famous  places and close to the parking lots....

The water was ice cold but I could not resist.

Our 17th summer RV trip with a grandaughter

As each grandchild reaches the age of 12/13 we take them with us on a one month trip as a birthday present

This year it was the turn of our 4th granddaughter Rony to join us, the general plan was to fly with her to Toronto to visit our youngest son and his family so Rony will have a chance to meet and spend time with her uncle and cousins,after a few days fly to Spokane where our rig spent the winter in a friends property,camp with Rony in North Idaho till her parents meet with us close to the end of July and “kidnap” her ….

The meeting in Toronto with the Uncles and cousins was great , we all had a ball but as always it was too short and staying longer meant less RV camping time...so we flew to Spokane and had the rig ready to go in 3 days.

In Spokane it was not only preparing the rig for the trip,we found time to travel to Cour d'Alen and meet friends in the area all to make Rony enjoying her time.

Finally we said good buys to our dear friends in Spokane that took good care after our rig during the whole winter and headed to Moyie Springs Idaho, the C.G was all you could ask for,full hookups,spacious sites,shade,clean bathrooms and great beach.

Trying to let Rony experience different activities we did some water activities and visiting some small towns.

Almost 3 weeks past with Rony not seeing her parents and brother and finally the the day came on the 25 July when they arrived to meet us near Farragut S.P Idaho where we spent all together another 3 marvelous days.

Our hosts and now dear friends made our stay enjoyable and comfortable as possible, it included a boat ride on the lake and a movie in the back yard, we thank them for this precious time.
