Lunch at the Marina

The new tires took a while, so we didn't leave Boise until almost 14:00. Ben and I headed north on 95 towards Lewiston, which was a gorgeous drive along the Salmon River. We stopped around 17:30 at the Salmon River Motel in Riggins, Idaho, a neat little town.

We had dinner at the cafe next door, then hung out in the evening air before calling it a night.

We had breakfast at the same cafe and chatted with the owner. She and her partner have the place for sale because they want to retire.

Although we shot for 07:00, we didn't leave this morning until just before 08:00. But only a few miles down the road we changed to Pacific Time, which put us at 07:00 again. I call that leaving on time 😁.

We continued up the 95 and hit the Lewiston HD, which was next to a paper mill. Stinky 😝! The rest of the drive up would've been beautiful we could e seen anything. Like so much of the US this summer, Idaho is full of smoke from fires.

Now we're in Coeur d'Alene for a lovely lunch at the marina.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
