31 Years - Celebrating in Bonners Ferry

We've been in the RV since June 30th, still have not plugged in to power!! We are cheating though by spending 2 days at Kootenai River Inn in Bonners Ferry, love the AC, it's about 100 degrees out!


Where we spent our 31st Anniversary!

This is the far southern corner of the parking lot, where we parked our RV the first time in it after getting solar, thought we had the perfect spot, not realizing that on the other side of the fence was an extremely busy railroad crossing!!
Ahhhhh Air conditioning!




Nice room for Free!!! Mike had 2 free nights comped from May so we are taking advantage of it, and won a little too! All the rooms have balconies on the Kootenai River. Rocky loves the bed.

We made it!

On June 30th we got out of our 4 bedroom house, me throwing stuff out the door onto the porch and Mike hauling it off to the Uhaul or RV, then we hopped in and took off, here's what it looked like inside
The bed is in there somewhere.

I think he got RV mixed up with Uhaul. Now I have 3 months to sort out this stuff, doing much better already.



We have been living off solar exclusively for 2 full weeks now, have not plugged in at all, the Solar system is remarkable, we can run the TV, box fan, bedside fan, charger for Kindle, laptop and cell phones, waffle iron, toaster, we have not run out of power once, though it has run low on one cloudy day when Mike had been watching TV most of the night. We have had upper 90's temps and I sorely miss my microwave but we are doing ok with wraps, sandwiches and some deli food. I have gotten rid of about 1/2 of the stuff we started with and can now walk around the bed, almost.

Saturday went to the Classic Boat show here in Sandpoint, quite impressive!
