Apr 18th to 20th - CDA/Spokane

Apr 18th - Sun - to Coeur d’Alene ID
We checked in at the Tamarack RV park after an easy 4 hour drive. It is a PA park where we will stay for 5 days as we felt we could not impose on our friends Bill & Georgia by staying in their back yard for too long.
We went 2 blocks to Costco for lunch, to renew our membership and to order contacts. We actually got out of there without buying anything else!
After returning to the rig and watching the last of a golf tournament, we went out and washed the truck. Back to our site to dry it off and then Terry attacked the layer of bugs on the front of the 5th wheel.

Apr 19th - Mon - CDA/Spokane
I had a nice chat with sister Marg this morning before we left to do errands – aka “spend money!” We cleverly drove past less expensive diesel in Idaho and fueled up in Spokane!
We picked up our mail, got the emissions check on the truck and renewed the licenses for both truck and 5th wheel. We were surprised to find that we had to buy new plates for both rigs to replace seemingly perfect old plates. We asked why and were told that money was needed to fix roads! Someone else said that older plates are not as reflective and readable. Go figure!
We went to White’s Boots where Terry used to work to arrange for a withdrawal from his 401k and to visit ex-co-workers (is that a word?). Then on to Bill & Georgia’s for dinner & lots of talking.

Apr 20th – CDA/Spokane
Another day of errands. We started with a haircut for me – definitely not the best one I have ever had! We made an appointment to get new rear tires on the truck, checked out some springs and visited my favorite store (BigLots!) before having some lunch. Then we had an appointment downtown to work on some financial business.
Back to get the tires put on and then we joined Bill & Georgia and 4 others (Lonnie & Cindy, Rick and Ben) to take advantage of “taco Tuesday” for dinner at Azteca. We went back to B&G’s and ended up watching a great video of ventriloquist Terry Fator. He was an “America’s Got Talent” winner and is totally amazing.
