#6 - Moving On to Wallace, Idaho

Wednesday, August 22, 2018

Time to leave Bozeman behind us and turn towards a little town called Wallace, Idaho. We frequently choose our next stop by determining who's about 300 miles away and whether or not they have an RV campground. Wallace RV Park was right there waiting for us. We don't have any reservations now, going forward, except for two weeks later in September. We're a little nervous about that, especially for Labor Day weekend, but we hope to find something soon. We kind of love the freedom of just winging it. 😊
Wallace RV Park was interesting. It was basically a straight paved road with gravel RV sites on each side. No grass, no picnic tables, no frills. It was in a beautiful area, though, so we signed up for an extra night and we're glad we did.😊

Based on the recommendation of a fellow RVer in the park, we hopped on the bike the next morning and headed for Thompson Falls, about 65 miles away. We just got on the road right behind us and drove into an absolutely beautiful ride. It was another hazy day but it is what it is and we can't let that stop us. After crossing over a mountain pass, and going through several tiny towns, we got to Thompson Falls and of course, I have to find the falls right away. Turns out there isn't one. They created a dam many years ago, but on the recommendation from a local grandma and her three 10-year old grandkids, we went for a walk in that area instead. It was interesting and we met some nice people along the way. We met up with Grandma and the kids a little later and when we told her how much we loved Idaho, she said, "Honey, you're in Montana." Sure enough, we had crossed back into Montana when we went over the pass! Who knew. We stopped for a late lunch at the Wild Coyote, (also recommended by Grandma) and loved it. Shortly after that, we're riding along and Rick spotted a moose wading in a roadside pond! We circled around and got some nice pictures. What a fun surprise. We'd go back to the Wallace area in a minute.

Happy trails. 🎵🎵
