First Day 7/30/24

 Hi all,

Well, we left Reno about 9:30 this morning and stopped in Winnemucca for lunch at The Pig. Then we drove through part of Oregon, then Idaho, then back into Oregon. We’ve stopped for the day in Ontario, OR and are staying at the Ontario Inn. It’s not luxurious but a step up from Motel 6 and it has all the amenities we need for one night! We drove about 425 miles today and much of it was pretty smoky because of the forest fires but it seems to be getting clearer. Ate dinner at Matsy’s down the road and had steaks (surprise, surprise 😆). Now I need to figure out how to download pictures… wish me luck 🍀 Hey, I think I did it 😂

Days 4 and 5

 We left Sandpoint yesterday morning and hit the Canadian border at Creston a little over an hour later then stopped for breakfast. Just a warning - do NOT eat at Rick’s Iron Kettle Restaurant. Dave and I both ordered a Keto Scramble… first of all, I often order scrambled eggs because I detest runny whites… you guessed it, there was some uncooked egg… but the kicker was they actually had sort of a gray tinge and taste wise, I think whatever they were cooked in was pre used. Nah… I didn’t eat it and just had an apple and some cheese in the truck! Interesting introduction to Canadian cuisine! After that, we drove about 250 miles to Kelowna, British Columbia. Part of the drive was pretty smoky from the wildfire in Jasper National Park but it was clear skies in Kelowna which is a nice mid sized city and we spent the night at a Sheraton. Their restaurant was MUCH better! This morning, we drove from Kelowna to Williams Lake - about another 250 miles and it’s been smoky again. I had booke...

 Well, I guess this isn’t going to be a daily blog as evidenced by my not writing yesterday! 😆 Anyway, we drove from Ontario, OR to Sandpoint, ID - about 440 miles. We were pretty tired so got a room for 2 nights (Cedar Street Hotel) so we could relax today. Sandpoint is lovely and is on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced “ponderay”), which is the largest lake in the state of Idaho. Had a leisurely day walking to breakfast, a little shopping then I spent some time on the beach. On the way back, I stopped at a cute little bookstore I couldn’t resist. Had dinner tonight outside at The Fat Pig restaurant (do I sense a theme?!)
