Day 1: And finally we are off...   (Monday 8th August 2022)

DAY
2

Wild horses couldn't drag me away.

Some New Orleans Evil eye flavoured kettle chips, whatever next?

So Burger number one on this tour, at the Dairy Queen and grill, en route to Coeur d' Elene.

Ian tries and approves this expensive offering.

So on to our scheduled view stop, The Wild Horses monument.

None of this "plaques explaining the reason and origin of these models", just a long gravel walk uphill. Ian can be observed far right waving.

Up close view of the horses.

This is a rather scary up close and personal view, of how the long distance illusion is achieved.

We checked into our hotel and evidence of the 2022 Sturgess Rally is here, we have seen a number of Motorcycles heading home from the festivities that ended yesterday.

Our first Walmart trip, snacks and drinks for the road.

Coeur d' Elene boasts a vast lake, with several opportunities to swim on the 2 mile loop walk.

The water was lovely, I'd have been more at ease had I remembered to pack my swimming costume, instead I braved the lake in a bikini top i'd been wearing and my knickers... oh well !

We completed the hilly walk and ended up at the marina and park, Ian poses with a moose and a mouse, cast in bronze.

Dinner at the Panda express... We arrived to be told the diner was closing shortly, but we were welcome to use the unlit patio area.
I think this is Ian with his beef and brocolli.

Goodnight Dear reader, until tomorrow xxx
