Location: Spokane, WA
The adventure overall through Idaho was what I expected and much more. Least to say I had many experiences that made the trip what it was supposed to be.
After our extreme adventure in the mountains between Coeur d'Alene and Pend Orielle we camped at Farragut State Park for two nights. (PIC of lake above) We found lots of beautiful scenery, disc golf, wildlife and good times. It was nice to take a little break from the road and find some local quaintness.
From Farragut we decided to push north up lake Pend Orielle to the town of Sand Point. It was a challenging terrain (or at least the route we took on the back roads) and it took longer than expected.
Sandpoint was a welcoming place filled with needed bike repairs, excellent Mexican Food and cold beer. (PIC @ a beach park above) We spent the majority of the afternoon enjoying the town for all we could. The plan turned to poaching a friends lake cabin on the way back home since the weather was turning. We planned to stay on their lawn until we found the spare key and ended up staying inside a very welcome change especially with the cold weather.
Yesterday was an intense push of over 70 some miles from the cabin to our parents place in Spokane. We started early around 8 in the morning and made it back around 8 in the evening. It would have been sooner if not for the intense head wind, hail storms (PIC of intense weather below) and fatigue. All the same we are here now and in decent shape.
A much needed weekend in Spokane is in order before I depart westward again. I am really enjoying time with family but I am longing for my true home in Maple Falls and good times with friends at the Sasquatch! Festival. Thanks for reading. Hopefully I will post more soon.
sincerely,
