Where We’ve Been
We decided to rent a small power boat for the day. Since the Stateline Marina for Lake Powell is in Utah but is also within walking distance of the campground in Arizona it made for easy access to hop over there and get a boat and spend the day out on the lake! The marina also rents a variety of …

Really? The end of summer? Almost. How can that be? Seems like summer just started. This weekend is Labor Day weekend and many schools start next week. That means….drum roll please…we will have the lakes and rivers to ourselves! Awesome! Especially if a bit of an Indian Summer decides to sneak it’s way in to our area. We decided to …

Yes, it has been hot in the Idaho Panhandle. We have been reaching temperatures up in the high 90’s F, i..e, high 30’s C. Not only that but central and eastern Washington have been battling fires which means the prevailing winds bring some of the smoke our way. The skies have been a bit hazy the past week and the …

It is a lovely, beautiful, warm day so we thought we would head to the lake and take a spin (and lunch) on the pontoon boat before the madness that is the 4th of July weekend sets in. It was before lunch and The Boathouse Restaurant was all set up for their lunchtime patrons. Our lunch was packed so we …

The area has lots to offer as far as campgrounds, RV Parks, entertainment, restaurants, hiking, biking, boating, and great weather. What more could you ask for? One of the first stops is the Lake Havasu …

The race is held around the Silver Beach area and is one of the fastest courses for the H1. It is a …

One of the places we really love to go is the Coeur d’Alene River in the Idaho Panhandle which feeds into Lake Coeur d’Alene from the east. The southern part of the Coeur d’Alene River is known as the Chain Lakes area. There are 10 lakes that feed off the river and there are passageways (channels) that lead you from …

The incredible beauty of the Kenai Fjords is hard to resist. We decided to take a day cruise on Resurrection Bay in the Kenai Fjords National Park departing from Seward. And are we glad we did. It turned out to be a perfect day. The weather was fantastic, the sky was blue, the sea was calm, and we saw tons …
