Tuesday August 18
















Crossed Oregon and a bit of Washington and stopped for a few hours in a town called Coeur d’Alene in Idaho. The town surrounded a lake of the same name....it was hot so the lake and the beach were crowded. Seaplanes were taking off giving tourists rides around the lake. It reminded me of when I did that somewhere with my mom when I was a kid. Ate some fairly bad pizza on a recommendation from the office of tourism and headed out of town.....it was a decent break from the road.

On the way out of town I noticed what looked like a bunch of cars around some kind of dirt track.....turned out to be the Tuesday night local BMX races. It was pretty cool....kids of all ages.....one kid was so small he couldn’t make it up some of the hills and needed to be pushed. On the other end of the spectrum there were the nutty kids who’d fly through the air with no fear at all. It was the highlight of the day.

Took a shower around 10pm and slept at the Wally in Missoula, Montana....at least 40 other campers in the lot.
