Adventure 265: Heyburn State Park 2016

Holy Frac! 
What a gift we have! A little more than an hour away from our door, we can enter a wooded world complete with bugs sparkling in the sunlight, fresh scented cedars, pines, and fir. A bright sky peeked through the evergreens on through the day toward evening shadows. The campground, Hawley's Landing, is quiet save for the periodic back flutter of logging trucks not too far in the distance. It is North Idaho, after all. Geese honk as they pass over, and in special moments, morel mushrooms pop up just to be plucked and sauteed in butter. Best of all, the campground is connected to the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's, Idaho's premier rail trail. The paved road from the campground to the trail is just about a mile. After two years of the RV life, this place is still one of our favorites. Judy commented on the way home that even after just two nights, it felt like we'd been out for months. Life is definitely good, especially today, and we're ever thankful. This particular trip, we had an extra dose of good love. Our grand daughter had left us love notes stuck the trailer wall. It felt good to share the "Family Love", as Miss Emily put it. 
 We had to take a quick dip before we headed out.
Of course, there had to be Cottage Cheese Pancakes.



There's the Bunny, levelheaded as usual.  Better yet, so is the trailer.

For these being the "Go-Go" years, there's quite a bit of sitting.
And some riding, too. Few things are better than a ride to Harrison for lunch.
