This was our shortest travel day ever . . . we only went about 80 miles. How nice was that? Less than two hours from leaving Farragut State Park and we were arriving at our new location at Twin Rivers Canyon Resort (http://www.twinriversresort.com/) near Moyie Springs, ID. We had read reviews on the campground that you go down a gravel road with switchbacks (4) to get to the canyon floor. We made it fine but there is a warning that if you have a 36 foot or larger motorhome towing a car behind you, you need to break the car loose and drive it down as the turns are very tight. Twin Rivers has the feel of a campground rather than an RV Resort. We feel like we are still camping!
We got to our site which is incredibly long and has tall pine trees around it. We discovered that there was a reverse polarity problem with the electric hookup. Luckily, there was an electrician staying here who came and took a look and corrected the problem. Yeah, we have power. The rest of setting up went off without a problem. I was also able to set up the MotoSat as it had a direct shot between a set of tall trees. Got lucky there.
After having lunch and showering, we headed up to Troy, MT to see John's former boss, Bill, who was up at his property about 12 miles south of Troy. Bill is in the process of building a vacation home. Bill had given me the instructions over the phone and we were able to find it fine (instructions went like: between mile markers 24 and 25, turn right on the gravel road, and make another right 3/8 of mile, etc.). The house is definitely out in the boondocks and he has a beautiful view 360 degrees around his home. Basically, the outside is complete but the interior has a bit to go; ie., flooring, kitchen cabinets, and trim. It is now and will be very beautiful when complete. We were glad we got the opportunity to see it.
After visiting for a few hours, we headed to Libby to see the "big town". Actually, it is rather decent sized and pretty. We had dinner at some restaurant and headed back to home. We stopped at points along the Kootenai River to look for wildlife and just enjoy the surroundings. The whole area along the Kootenai River is absolutely beautiful. We did see an Osprey fishing for its evening meal as he cruised the river and a white tail doe with two fawns who came down to the waters' edge.

Beautiful scenery isn't it?Soon we were back home and enjoying the evening air. We took a walk down to the confluence of the Kootenai and Moyie Rivers. Another good day.
