10th June, 2009. Travel to Coeur d' Alene Well up and away this morning, travelled over the Bitterroot Range, a beautiful area of rivers and valleys, and then coming down to Lake Coeur d' Alene. After a bit of hassle finding the RV camp we booked in, the owners were most helpful, so we had a quick lunch and took off to the "Bucks" knife factory for a tour, bowled in there 2 mins late only to be told we were an hour early - time change at the Idaho boarder, never mind, time to do some shopping. Bucks Knife factory was founded in 1902, pretty impressive and they have some cool knives. Then on to a sporting shop, "Cabela's", if you have never been to a Cabela's, next time you see one, GO, they are ... read more

We compliment cruising with extensive driving trips; this one being 45 days to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. On our way to our first time share near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho we visited friends and family and saw some of the most awe inspiring mountains including Mt. Shasta, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood and our favorite Mt. Rainier. We also attended a Shakespeare play at the outdoor Elizabethan theater in Ashland, Oregon; took a day trip to the exquisitely blue Crater Lake and generally enjoyed the scenic route and perfect autumn weather. Wide open spaces are alive and well in northern Idaho! The town of Sandpoint was an hour’s drive north of our condo and Coeur d’Alene was about the same distance south. Both were perfectly located on large lakes with lots of charm. They both ... read more
