It is Tuesday, August 22 and it has been a week since I
wrote a blog. Just not much to report
from our end.
We left Baker City, OR last Tuesday and spent two nights at
the Elks Lodge in Caldwell , ID about 25 miles
west of Meridian .
The bar tender in the Elks recommended a local restaurant just down the street
called Mr. V’s. It is a local owned
restaurant and serves Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The restaurant has been locally owned by the
same family for 29 years. They certainly
found the right formula for staying in business. Our meal was great and we recommend it to
anyone traveling through the area. It is
also just off the freeway.
On Wednesday evening we had dinner with Ron’s nephew who
lives and works in Boise .
Nephew John met us at Big Jud’s in Meridian
which is basically a hamburger place.
Great burgers, Tater Tots and Onion Rings.
Friday we moved on to Twin Falls stopping to have lunch with
friends from there before moving on to Rupert, ID Elks Lodge where we stayed
for two days on grass, under tall shade trees and right next to the first hole
of the golf course owned by the Elks.
Ron played on Saturday and we enjoyed getting acquainted with another
RVer also staying at the Lodge.
Saturday, we moved into Utah
stopping in Brigham City , about 60 miles north
of Salt Lake City
to visit with friends of my brother Gil and his wife whom we met several years
ago. They too are RVers and had just
returned from a two week trip to Canada where the smoke from the Canadian fires was really bad. The guys and my sister in law played golf on
Monday while Sandy and I ventured downtown to a local quilt shop. Of course, I found the perfect fabric for a
project I am working on. A nice early
dinner on the back covered deck finished our visit. Hope
everyone had a chance to look at the Eclipse.
We did not see much, but the temperature did drop but it was not dark in
Brigham City .
The rest of this week we are heading back to Albuquerque where we will
arrive on Thursday.
Signing off til sometime next week.
