Missoula, MT and on to Coeur d' Alene, ID

Our "biker" neighbors at the KOA in Butte, MT . . . we visited and made some new friends from Idaho

The BEST, MOSTEST YUMMIEST ice cream at The Big Dipper in Missoula, MT. Curb side (walk-up) service only.  AND, we met a fun family (the Swishers} from Denver, CO . . .   we all found our way there because of the Sunset magazine ad for the shop.

Wende found the sweetest, warmest . . . .(in July??) mittens made from sweaters at the "Upcycled" store in Missoula, MT.  It was one of the coolest stores.

And, then there were the YUMMY, old-fashioned burgers . . the BEST EVER . . at Hudson's Hamburgers in Coeur d' Alene, ID.  Fast, friendly service and you had to "belly up to the bar"

Met a lovely older couple there who live in CDA for 6 months and winter in Yuma, AZ

And, Mr. Hudson himself (picture of his dad on the shelf in the back)  He sliced onions and pickles as he used them, made the hamburger patties as he cooked them.  YUM!!!! YUM!!!

Right across the street from Hudson's, in the plaza was . . . you guessed it. MaryJanesFarm store.  So we met Jordan, talked and laughed, pestered her and had the best time.  We also made some special purchases, introduced ourselves as Farmgirl Sisterhood members, had pictures taken and made our "wish lists".

Then we got our Starbucks coffee and rode off into the sunset to Kathy O'Hara's place outside of Hayden.  Check back for that "chapter"
