Idaho - Day Three

Monday

A very restful, quiet, catch-up day with a variety of weather - sun, rain, snow, sun, etc. Finally decided to use the fireplace - they provided one box of wood - but we had no matches. So Ruth trudged through the snow(flakes) - could have waited two minutes - to the convenience store to get some matches.

During some of the snow events, we couldn't see the mountains or the lake close to us - then quickly all was beautiful again.

We did go for a drive/walk to check things out around the lake to the south. There are quite a few cabins - small and large, some occupied but most seeming to wait for the summer occupants. There were quite a few deer roaming around (seemingly young and female) and also wild geese. Boy, do they make a racket when they take off.

Don remembered seeing a hamburger shack on the way back from town yesterday so we had to check it out for dinner (Paul Bunyan Famous Hamburgers). Little did we realize it was 17 miles from our place. We may get to know this road yet. Don had a Paul Bunyan Burger (two patties and cheese with special sauce) and I had the Blue Ox (one patty with ham and cheese) and we shared a large order of onion rings. so much for the good effects of exercise.

Driving back the lighting on the lake was spectacular - couldn't tell if it's a full moon because of all the clouds. At least there's not a lot of traffic.
