We drove about 200 miles to a little RV park just outside of Hope, ID called Beyond Hope. We were here 6 years ago on our first long trip in a trailer. Of course the park has changed but is still real nice right on Lake Pend Oreille. There are deer wandering through the park daily. The weather is still pretty warm but on the lake it is a little cooler than the past few days. We needed ice and had to go to a nearby marina to get it. There was a floating restaurant there so we went in and had a beer and snack on the deck. Quite nice.

Went for a drive today to Bonners Ferry. Don went there on vacation with his grandparents in the 50's. He doesn't remember how long it took to get there from Oregon back then with no freeways or air conditioning but it was probably a couple of days. The town is very quaint with lots of history. We went into a little shop that had kitchen gadgets in the front and other miscellaneous bric a brac throughout. Don was in the front of the store when Gail called him to the back where she had found a night stand from the 30's or 40's. She asked him how much he thought it was worth. Probably about $125. Well it is now in our truck, our little $29.95 treasure. That night there was a great sunset and later thunder and lightning.
