Today I decided to take an easier trail so that I could just enjoy the view. The Trillium Lake Trail is listed as a 1.9 mile loop. Unfortunately, the trail is closed along the backside of the lake for repairs. Even though, I managed to make it into a three mile hike. The views, asContinue reading “Trillium Lake Trail”

Yesterday I was checking out the All Trails app on my phone looking for a moderate trail in the vicinity of Mt Hood where I might be able to get a good view of Mt Hood. I believe my days of hiking the difficult trails are over. I found the Mirror Lake Trail which isContinue reading “Mirror Lake Trail”

Last Tuesday my puppy woke me up early because he needed to go out. While outside with him I noticed the colorful sunrise, so I grabbed my camera and took a few photos of the colorful sky above the Columbia River. Take a look!

This past Sunday Barbara, Hopper and I travelled to the east end of Lake Coeur d’Alene to the Mineral Ridge Recreation Area. While Barbara and Hopper enjoyed the fresh air at the picnic area I took a hike to stretch my legs and lungs to the top of Mineral Ridge. The sign indicated that theContinue reading “Mineral Ridge Trail”

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”
