We spent every minute in the month of July in the panhandle of Idaho.
On July 1st, we crossed the state line from Montana into Idaho near Bonner’s Ferry, which is almost as far north as you can go without crossing into Canada.
This trip saw a return to three locations that we especially enjoyed last year. Two weeks in Sandpoint, Idaho at the cute campground at Springy Point which sits smack dab on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille, followed by two weeks at Heyburn State Park south of Couer d’Alene, and then five nights at Winchester Lake State Park. As you can see in the map, it’s just a fraction of this beautiful state.
We’ll tell the story of July in the pictures below…
I try to eat pretty healthy. But I saw these things and just couldn’t resist.
Check out the description of these chips. I Googled it, and it is indeed a Canadian thing. They were magically delicious.
When I went back a couple days later to get another bag, the shelf was bare. And there was no shelf tag — it was as if they never existed at all. If I didn’t need a reason to go to Canada before, I do now :-)
WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG POST FOR A POP QUIZ.
HOW MANY GEESE IN A GAGGLE?
I do a few hours of computer work every day, between this blog and other activities I’m involved with. Most days, my office can’t be beat.
There is so much more to this beautiful state that we haven’t seen — the Sawtooth Mountains, for instance. More reasons to come back again. Idaho is called “The Gem State”, and it’s easy to see why.
It was really nice to experience some of the same places we saw last year. There’s always a thrill to experience the new, but the familiar is always good too!
Tomorrow we will leave Idaho and turn our travels westward.
Thanks for following along on our travels!
Okay, I *must* have some All Dressed chips now. Like, really MUST!
Never been to Idaho…maybe “someday”…LOL Maybe when you come to MO you can bring some of those chips along with you!!! Stay safe!!!
