First week in Idaho
We have had a wonderful time during our first week here in the Post Falls - Coeur d'Alene area. As you can see from the pictures below I have played some golf, seen many friends, and have seen three wonderful golf courses. On the 2nd I played at The Club at Black Rock which is a Jim Engh design and it is an incredible course! On the 5th I played at the Circling Raven Golf Club in Worley, ID, about 25 miles south of Coeur d'Alene, where I met Carl & barb Henry, Rick & Sandy Borlase, and some of their friends. We had three groups and had a wonderful day. The course is very challenging and it is important to get yourself on the correct tee box or you will be in for a long day! There are many forced carries over hazards and if you are back to far you will have trouble reaching grass and many holes, including a few par threes.
On the 6th I was invited to join Carl & Rick to play at the Hayden Lake Country Club. This is a terrific old, 101 years, traditional golf course with plenty of BIG trees. We had a great day and then I returned to the coach to pick up Tippy and then we joined the folks for dinner at the club. They have a wonderful buffet dinner every Sunday evening and the food and the views of the lake were truly incredible! After dinner we drove to Rick and Sandy's wonderful home that is right on the lake and it even has it's own beach. They have a great spot for them and their family to enjoy.
We spent July 4th afternoon and evening with our friends Karen & Dennis Augsberger. They are staying at the Blackwell Island RV Park, which is a short way from us and closer to the lake. We were able to meet some of their family and friends and had a great afternoon. Dennis cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and other folks brought side dishes, Tippy brought her cream cheese and pickle rollups, and everyone ate their fill. The fireworks show didn't start until 10:00 so we had time to sit around for a while after dinner and chit chat some more. Their site at the park had a great view for the show so we just lined our chairs up along the road and got comfortable. The fireworks show was really good and we enjoyed the sights and sounds, except for Alex and Dennis' dog, both of which didn't care too much for the show. Tippy took Alex to the car where she stayed on the floor and Dennis gave his dog some Valium and he slept inside. The traffic was pretty bad leaving the area but we made it home safely after enjoying a wonderful day.
This week will be a little quieter with only one golf game scheduled and maybe a movie or two. There is also a Cabela's store only about 5 miles away so I may visit there as well. We did see Hancock last week and we both enjoyed it even if it was a little quirky. We plan to see Indiana Jones this afternoon and maybe Get Smart later in the week. More in a day or so, be safe.
