My Life and Travels
Leaving today for our Spring trip to Montana. Spending the night at Cabela’s in Post Falls,ID. It is really a handy spot except for satellite TV does not want to work here. Had to turn the system on and off three times before the receiver could find a satellite. I have the same problem at the big house. Sometimes I have to hook up the pickup in front of the post office and I have never been able to find a satellite there.
Drove 312 miles today, will add maps we have a better cell connection
We have stated our 2021 travels with a trip to Montana fly fishing. Current plan is to be in the Tri-Cities on June 25 to July 25 for the Garcia birthday bash.
We have a new traveler this year.
We are at Cabela’s in Post Falls, Id for the night.
Here is today’s drive., 303 miles.
Our first stop will be Ruby Creek CG on the Madison River. Below is the weather report, to be noted this is the first one I have printed that didn’t have some snow in it.
Looking forward for some good fishing or at least teach Marley to walk on a leash. He currently likes for walk around your legs which has some significant disadvantages. The hot spot I am paying for does not want to connect to my IPad so will see if I get this posted tonight.
Today was moving day. We are on our way to Ennis Montana area for a few weeks of fly fishing.
218 miles, grocery shopping at Walmart and spending the night at Cabella’s
Today’s drive 256 miles
Spent 4 hours at an Oregon Trail Information Center just east of Baker City.
It was interesting, we were here maybe 12 years ago. I forgot to look up the date before I started this post. ( update May 1, 2002 was the date )
We are at a really big rest stop that we have stayed before.
I did get a spot next to a light pole.
Parking here we can have the bedroom slide out tonight.

Our travels for Spring and early Summer fishing.
Here are our travels for the first half of the year.
We are still in Richland enjoying the Garcia’s hospitality. Tanya and Mike are taking a short vacation so Jean and I are taking care of Bryn and Jack for a couple of days.
I have drafted out our fall trip from the big house to Navajo Dam. The current plan is to leave August 21 and arrive at Navajo Dam on September 11 for two weeks of fishing. Then it is on to Albuquerque, NM for the balloon fiesta. Then someplace and back to the big house in time to see the Village’s production of “The 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee” in Everett before it closes on November 17th, we can purchase tickets starting August 7. Brian is playing the school principle.

We are back at Cabela’s with a little rain this year.
We were here last year on Sunday May 13th, we didn’t stop at the Garcia’s last year on way east. Just as a foot note we drove 11,929 miles in the last year.
I am still not sure if we are going to the Beaverhead River or the Madison River first, l will have to decide tomorrow.
Tonight we are at a Rest Stop 10 Miles east of Glenns Ferry, ID. Nice drive today if you don’t count the three cans of pop which came rolling the length of the coach when I had to make a quicker then normal stop while coming through Boise. Oh yes, all three opened up on the trip from back to the front.

The 100,000 way point was from April 7, 2018 on our way north.
Today’s drive
Camped at Cabela’s in Post Falls, Idaho. I used the Christmas present I got from Don to get a few Fly tying things and Cabela’s allows people to spend the night in the parking lot. They have an area mark off with long parking sites, a place to walk your horse and place to run your dog.
Beautiful sunny and warm evening.
Drove across Washington today, left the big house at 10:00 am.
Big house and little house.
Tonight’s camp.
And I got to go in the store after dinner and Hank’s walk.
It is a big store.
