Our personal journey has taken us through Phillipsburg, Mt., Missoula, Mt., Harrison, Idaho, Lake Coeur d'Alene and Spokane. While on Lake Coeur d'Alene we parked at Brian and Susan's home which sits at the shores of a tranquil bay on the south end of the lake. While it's obvious waters-sports are a big part of the lifestyle there the road biking too is endless. The Rails to Trails program has turned miles of old train track beds into incredible bike paths. The Hiawatha Trail that passes through multiple tunnels and over trestles as high as 230 feet was one of the more interesting bike paths we've seen. Quite a ride.
Our stop in Spokane was blessed by beautiful weather and a great stay with Linda and Charlie. I learned never say never (again) because we played golf and enjoyed the day greatly. Spokane is hooked into the same rails to trails bike paths as Coeur d'Alene and it parallels the Spokane River for a scenic ride.
Though enjoying our adventures and our freedom we are missing Jackson Hole and savoring the time we had there over the summer. Happy Trails to all, we'll see you soon.

Hi Toni & BK,
On the road again and looking happy..the heck with beautiful scenery, I am moved by the friendships you are rekindling. Why is it one feels no need to be anything but ourselves with friends, but with relatives there is always an edge? Something to ponder. We are in Indy and, as it turns out, tending to medical needs of two sick little boys...fevers, chills, asthma, etc. They are getting better and hopefully from the same virus we had. Danny has now surpassed me by nearly an inch and is lovin' it. Craig's in NY and Wanda in Cincinati - the way of the 40 year olds - 15+ years marriage these days.
I'm reading a book consisting of letters written 1941-1946, the war-torn years in Great Britain. It's centered around a woman writer who discovers people living in a lovely, German occupied island called Gurensey and their survival by forming a book club. The author has formed 'friendships' through these letters and has traveled there to write a book.
It is an appreciation of how 'reading' helps us survive and writing helps to get us through the days...right?
Continue safe journeys and know that we are out there waiting to hear. Maybe we will eventually get together to share more of each other one day.
Love and hugs, Barbara
