In downtown Coeur d’Alene, along the waters edge, is beautiful McKuen Park. Barbara and I along with our good friends Linda and Dale took a few hours last week to explore this park. We explored, had lunch and the ladies did some shopping.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but Barbara and I have been so busy. Last week Barbara and I, along with a bunch of fun loving Grand Design owners, took a boat ride on Lake Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho. If you have never been to Coeur d’Alene Idaho, you need to go. IContinue reading “Lake Coeur d’Alene”

Yesterday Barbara and I got up early and drove into Glacier National Park for the day. The last time we were here, almost 14 years ago, the Road to the Sun was closed due to road construction. This time road construction is being conducted at night, so the road was open. In my opinion, thisContinue reading “Glacier National Park”

Yesterday Barbara and I traveled back to Spokane to the site of the 1974 Worlds Fair, Riverfront park. Do they even do world fairs anymore? This is a nice park with a lot to do for the entire family. When we arrived the first thing we did was take the aerial tram to get aContinue reading “Riverfront Park”

Barbara and I have been staying at the Little Diamond RV park for a week now and have really enjoyed ourselves. I have hiked around the Little Diamond lake three times and I was able to take my paddleboard out yesterday to enjoy the view from the water. It’s a nice three mile hike fromContinue reading “Little Diamond”

Recently I have been doing a lot of thinking about my life and my many blessings now and over the years. At the age of 64 most people would be looking for ways to slow down, but not me. Not many people my age would have asked for a paddleboard for their birthday to takeContinue reading “Blessings”

This past Wednesday Barbara and I traveled from the Washington coast at Birch Bay to Crescent Bar on the Columbia River in east central Washington. This area has a real interesting geologic history, but I’ll leave that for another day. That evening I strolled down to the river’s edge to capture an amazing sunset. TakeContinue reading “Crescent Bar”

On Tuesday as Barbara and I traveled the Mount Baker Scenic Highway we made a couple of stops along the way. On the way to Mount Baker we stopped at Nooksack Falls on the Nooksack River. This is a nice waterfall, but because it is in a deep and narrow gorge trying to get aContinue reading “Scenic Highway”

Yesterday Barbara and I traveled east along the Mount Baker Scenic Highway to Mount Baker at Artist Point. This is a 70 mile very scenic drive and the vistas at the end of the road are awesome. Also here is 9,127 foot tall Mount Shuksan to the east. Mount Shuksan is not a Cascade volcanoContinue reading “Mount Baker”

Last evening I drove down to the water in hopes of catching a colorful sunset. Birch Bay in the evening is an amazing place. People come out to enjoy the sunset, the water, live music and fires on the beach. There were several fires on the beach, I could hear music behind me while IContinue reading “Birch Bay Sunset”
