Exploring Coeur D'Alene, Idaho

Today we were going to ride our bikes, but it was cold and blustery, so we took a day to drive into Coeur D'Alene, Idaho (30 miles away). We'd heard a lot about how beautiful the city and surrounding area is. Since we only have one day we didn't get to see much, but we saw enough to agree that it is a beautiful area. After spending some of the morning updating the blog, uploading photos, and cleaning up, we were off. We parked in the city lot that was free for 2 hours and walked around downtown. We could tell that it was a ritzy area because the majority of the downtown consisted of art galleries and restaurants. We stopped for a quick and cheap lunch. We took a Rachael Ray tip and went off the main street to hunt for lunch place. After lunch we walked around the marina on Lake Coeur D'Alene to gaze at the boats. There was a board listing used boats for sale. Very few were under $200k, most weren't even very big for the money. I'm betting the boating industry has suffered some with the high price of fuel, like the RV industry.

Later we headed back to the moho to chill and get our dinner marinating. Tonight will be a chill night while we pack up the moho. We're taking it to the Cummins Coach Care facility down the street for generator oil change and service. We have to be there at 7am and are promised to be out in an hour. Tomorrow's drive is scheduled to be 334 miles to a Wal-Mart in Butte, Montana.
