Some other friends of ours just had theirs done too. Just goes to show you that having that repair cushion in the bank account really gets a work out.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868215812157379740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-26846449877639743942012-05-21T14:36:15.181-07:002012-05-21T14:36:15.181-07:00Sounds like a lovely plan.

It's been a long and frustrating decision. We'll let you know when we know. But hearing about your adventures makes us want to just sell and go!<br /><br />We'll just have to live vicariously through you for now. Until our next adventure. BTW...keep in mind that Memorial weekend is coming up. Hope you have a spot already booked!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868215812157379740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-44346343761499018692012-05-21T09:52:42.643-07:002012-05-21T09:52:42.643-07:00Ooooooh yessss -- I have a vividly wonderful memor...Ooooooh yessss -- I have a vividly wonderful memory of driving 93 from Missoula toward Tetonia in August of 2010. I've been a bit haphazord with my blog reading these past few months but knowing where you two are headed will be a strong impetus to pay attention and 'look in' on you more frequently.<br /><br />I have no doubt that you will enjoy your time in these parts -- it sure was an unexpected delight to add Idaho to my top 10 list of states that I, personally, feel are 'gems'!!<br /><br />BTW, I just missed the chance to have a little visit with you while you were in the Sacramento area. I just arrived in Yountville last Thursday evening. <br /><br />Safe travels and I join with everyone else in wishing you an end to the pocketbook pilfering that Scoopy and Jules have been indulging in!!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744840704231565963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-17414463800599657612012-05-19T19:12:16.651-07:002012-05-19T19:12:16.651-07:00Repairs happen and for us usually around $500 :-)Repairs happen and for us usually around $500 :-)Bob and Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128674200250063454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-48053320005359109412012-05-18T20:33:00.159-07:002012-05-18T20:33:00.159-07:00Oh, I hope your travails are behind you now and yo...Oh, I hope your travails are behind you now and your travels looking great in front of you!

Glad your tire and MH problems have been fixed..it sounds like you were satisfied with Cummins in Boise which is good to hear since we're heading there the end of Aug. We stay at the Ambassador RV Park near Caldwell..$345 a month.

There was a deck right out the back of my site. I could fall asleep to the sound of rushing water. I took the ride up to Big Hole Montana which was a really nice ride. Oh....yer killin' me!

Sawtooths! Oh, how lucky are you. I absolutely love central and norther Idaho. I stayed in Grainger and took a ride up to Stites--lovely ride. Rich and I used to go to Stanley so I had to stay there for a few days. There's a fairly run down campground up the road from the town where I enjoyed the most wonderful breakfast. Nest to Oregon, I'd say Idaho is my favorite state. I look forward to reading your blogs about your adventure. Redfish Lake, Stanley Lake, Bruce Meadows--oh, I'm green with envy!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371157074687319596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-73709749921339514892012-05-18T08:03:04.019-07:002012-05-18T08:03:04.019-07:00So true that the repairs budget is always the one ...So true that the repairs budget is always the one that doesn't have quite enough in it when we need it. <br /><br />Love the country you are going through.

As soon as we know, we may need your help getting around the area. <br /><br />Glad you were able to get all the repairs taken care of.

Just a couple of hours south of the border then a few more hours through some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet and you are at our gate. <br /><br />If you get to Kalispell make sure you go and have the pizza at Moose's Bar, it is the best we have ever eaten!!
