With an extra day to play with, we decided to stay in the Coeur d’Alene area and went to the Elks Lodge, Coeur d’Alene, only a half hour from StoneRidge. We were then off to Spokane for another shot at our favorite hamburger joint, Wingers, where we loaded up on more of their outstanding and very big wings and a few bottles of their great sauce. With a bit of time on our hands we went to a movie and saw the very stupid “The Other Guys.” Actually, it did have a few funny moments so it wasn’t all that bad.
Back at the Elks Lodge, we met up again with Danny and Marcie Quarisa, who drove down from StoneRidge for the evening, and fellow CAT RV Club friends Earl and Marie McPeak, who had arrived at the Elks earlier in the day. The Elks were having a big burger shindig so we stopped in for a few drinks and we decided to go to the Tomato Street Italian restaurant which had been recommended by Jay Gridley.

The restaurant turned out to be crowded and noisy but with our waiter Jason, it was a lot of fun; and, oh, yes, the food was not bad either!
On Wednesday, we were back on the road again heading for Butte, MT, and a friendly Wal-Mart. We didn’t feel too bad staying in their parking area overnight as Fran did some grocery-shopping and generously contributed to their sales figures for the day. After a fairly long drive, we had dinner in the coach and were ready to call it a day. Our destination on Thursday was the Wal-Mart in Sheridan, WY, another long driving day, accompanied by a few rainstorms along the way. We woke early on Friday morning to dark skies, and as soon as we hit the road, it started to rain and didn’t let up until we arrived at the Devils Tower National Monument, WY. So, that's it for now folks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bye!
