Needing a break from digging, rock hauling, trim sanding and all such joys of house-building and rural living, we decided to take a couple of days off last week. This time, that meant a quick trip into Northern Idaho, some camping in their very nice National Forest and some shopping in Sandpoint and Ponderay, only an hour south of Creston.We had fine weather, one night of camping was a bit noisy because of yahoos who obviously didn't realize that not everyone wanted to listen to their music and conversation all night, and one night of camping that was very quiet and peaceful. It also helped that the Moyie River was making enough noise to blot out any other possible noise.
The shopping was good, especially with the increased value of the C$$, much better than during our USA trip last winter. And, added bonus, bless Steven Harper's cotton socks, the increased value of stuff you can bring back from the USA after only 48 hours. A good time was had by all shopping, trying out a new restaurant or two, wandering around, reading, resting....All things must end, and with a quick stop at Customs en route, we were back home Friday afternoon and back at the business of hacking an estate out of the wilderness.
