Liberty Lake, Idaho (laundry day)

     Saturday the 25th and we're now at the RV (mini park) of RnR RV Sales and Service in Liberty Lake, Idaho.  Our reservations at Blackwell's Island RV in Coeur D'Alene ran out and the place is always so busy as most this time of year we couldn't get an extra night or two.  I have an appointment for some minor service items on Monday here at RnR (antenna, water pump noise/leak, lights on tow vehicle) so it's nice that they have this parking area with "full-hookup service" for out-of-town traveler's.  We are looking forward to hitting the road again and heading towards Florence, Oregon for our next stop.  We finally found a place there for a week off the coast and on a lake which sounds like it's just full of fish!  Yes, fish.....and Bev wants to rent a boat and do some fishing, go figure...I guess catching all those Walleye at Devils Lake got her the bug.  As we all know, fishing isn't always throw the line in and reel in a fish shortly afterwards, sometimes you must work at it so we'll she how she fares next weeks.
     Sometimes you want to be alone, and sometimes you want to be around friends and family and a trip or journey like this can afford one the best of both worlds.  We'll have been gone from home at least 3 months by the time this journey is over, and will have experienced the best of both those worlds.  We do so enjoy being alone, just the two of us in a new area of the country or even familiar parts of the country.  We do enjoy waking up in the morning with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the day together, our alone time, or by exploring someplace new.  We very much enjoy going to a movie in the evening in a small town movie theater, or any town movie theaters.  We go the the movies occasionally when at home, but on these trips it seems to be at the top of an evenings list as long as there is something worth seeing.  That is why it is also nice to have so many friends in so many different states across the country.  We will have spent time with friends in every state we been in from time we left Iowa and all our family there.  We've spent time with friends in WI, MN, ND, and now ID and looking for to seeing friends in OR and CA before heading home.  It is nice to stop and spend time with friends while traveling, but nice spending time alone also.  We're just so lucky to have so many friends all over the country.
     These past couple of days have really been relaxing, we really haven't done much of anything, today is laundry day (once again) so we'll be heading to the nearest laundromat to spend about 2 1/2 hours of doing 4 loads.  It usually run about $20 to do laundry at a nice place, Big Boy washer usually cost more but help get us in and out a bit sooner.  Tomorrow we hope to get the coach in and out without costing too much and then hit the road towards Oregon!
