9/9/07 - Lewiston to Mtn. Home - 321 miles

We had planned on going to Stanley, ID and spending a couple of nights in that area camping along a river again (I love being parked in the trees by rivers)! We were going to cut over to McCall, go south a little and then back north toward Stanley. It had been real hazy (from fires) all morning and when we got around the McCall area it was so smokey you could hardly see the mountains. We stopped at Cascade to get some information on where the fires were etc. We were told that from Banks to Horseshoe Bend it was single lane with a pilot car leading the traffic through the fire area. At that point we decided to skip Stanley for this trip and just head south toward Boise, we'll come back when it's not so smokey. We really didn't want to stay in Boise so went on to Mountain Home and found a beautiful brand new RV park. We had gotten so use to campgrounds having nothing over 30 AMPS and this park had 50/100 AMPS. I guess with all the bells and whistles on the huge new rigs some of them are actually needing 100 AMPS to run everything. The pull through sites were 90' with a large cement pad and lots of grass and the rate was $28.00 less any discounts you might have. They had four rows of sites done and were working on another whole section. The entrance area was done beautiful and when they are finished it will be one of the nicest parks we have seen. Wildlife sightings today: Coyote. If you want to see where we are currently (9/15/07) go to: http://map.datastormusers.com/user2.cfm?user=2430
