Even More StayCationAnniversary

On Friday hubby took the bikes down to the shop after I vacuumed all the dog hair out of the back of the pickup. He carefully filled the tires with air so as not to burst the tires. We packed up all our snacks into a back pack & drove into A-town to get water & sandwiches at the Little Town Market.

Drove to Montana/Idaho border & bought tickets for the Route Of The Hiawatha bike trail - 15 miles of scenic rail-to-trail mountain biking. Stopped for lunch mid way & let a little ground squirrel share some of our snacks.

We all got saddle sore by the end of the 18 mile round trip ride!

When we got back to the truck after the 2nd trip through the 1.7 mile Taft Tunnel which was quite cold on our lungs, we all needed a hot latte. Finally found a place open just off the interstate in Smelterville. Yum. Really hit the spot!

At home the guys were still working on the lift kit for KRN's Jeep. The tires & wheels that Poor Joe H left did not fit, so they remounted her old wheels & tires. KRN took off for home around 7PM. Rain storm hit us with very dark clouds, hail-like rain & lightning shortly afterwards.

Opened up the order I received from Victoria's Secret. I am NEVER purchasing from them again. Cheap, ill made clothes. The sweater had buttons on it that would not fit through the knitted opening. If I had tried, the sweater would have ripped. All items are going back!

Hubby & I both took showers & went to bed early.

We slept in late again on Saturday morning. Packed Bud in the FMF & got lattes. Then went into Post Falls to pick up check from C&N Diesel. Stopped to wash FMF at the auto car wash. Stopped in Rathdrum to check out the Farmer's Market. Which turned out to be craft & junk sale in the park. No Farmer's food at all. Very disappointed as I had anticipated some jalapenos, apples or onions. Boring.

Bud on the dock

Hubby drove us out to Twin Lakes & we had Bud check out the water. Then back to A-town to pick up BBQ. Pulled pork, chicken & beef. Yum. Took it home to eat.

My boots from Alloy came in USPS today. Oh. They are SO comfortable, beautiful & just perfect for fall. I am ordering another pair! Hubby at the shop from 2PM until 5PM. He rested for a bit, then we took dogs to deserted subdivision in Farragut. Afterwards dropped dogs off at home while we went to Spirit Lake to have ice cream cones.
