Holed up in Idaho .....

The last time we were in Idaho we went to Me 'n Stan's Restaurant, where they had NO POTATOES.  In Idaho!  We googled and discovered they went out of business a couple of years ago.  Imagine that!  NO POTATOES.  IN IDAHO!!!  The first visit went famously bad so there will be no return visit, especially since they are out of business.  Here ends my rant.  We were last at Benewah County Fairgrounds in St. Maries, Idaho and are now at Pink House Recreation Site, still in Idaho.  It's BLM territory (Bureau of Land Management).  The fairground folks were preparing for an upcoming county fair so we only stayed a couple of days.  Here at Pink House we are next to the Clearwater River, famous for it's fishing and rich logging history.  It's on the Lewis and Clark Trail.

This was at the fairgrounds.

Just down the road, the local cemetery had this wonderful tribute to past, fallen veterans.

Now this is a little odd.  The picture was taken at a local supermarket next to the laundromat.  After running the truck through the car wash and while waiting for clothes to dry, we went shopping.  As I walked along the rear aisle, I could swear I was walking uphill.  Coming down the next isle, I felt I was going downhill.  Upon meeting Wendy at the end of the aisle I remarked, "I swear this floor has a slope."  She said that she noticed it too.  She then started laughing as she told me to look at the grocery shelves, thus the picture.  If you look close enough you can see that the red containers are leaning to one side.....gravity got them, lol.  At the back of the store there was at least a one foot drop, rear to front.  I didn't get a chance to ask why, they were very busy.

The waters are very fast and way too cold for a dip.  We had the heater on this morning and in 2 days it's supposed to reach 105!  Yikes!  I can foresee a trip to dip our toes in the near future :)

Be well, friends!
