Time for a quick update.
Since leaving Dillon, MT we spent a night in Missoula, MT with Yogi Bear and his friends, then drove over the mountains to Coeur d’Alene, ID where we spent three days getting a chip in the windshield repaired, restocking at COSTCO and having a dinner out. From there we spent several hours at the Cummins Coach Care facility in Spokane getting some routine scheduled maintenance items taken care of after which we drove back to Coeur d’Alene and then north to Sagle, ID where we are currently located. As we did last year we are parked in the driveway of our good friends Larry and Linda. It is like having our own RV park for one. So far we have been sharing their rural, small town life here and enjoying it very much. That included the 4th of July with some of their extended family. With Larry's help I also managed to replace our broken coach steps making it much easier and safer to get in and out.

Next week Larry and Linda fly to San Diego for a few days and Arlyene will fly to Las Vegas the same day to visit her mom and check in with family members. They will travel to the Spokane airport together. That will leave me here for about five days to tend the homestead and keep Rusty (Larry and Linda’s dog) company – or the other way around….. I have been saving up some book work and other administrative chores for those days so I think Rusty and I will keep busy enough.
After everyone returns Arlyene and I will be traveling to Seattle for the first couple weeks of August in the Jeep where we will house/cat sit while using or friends home as a base for our Seattle area business and visits. All subject matter for a future post.
