Cinder Wines Boise, ID
Sunny Sunday afternoon and we were ready to sip wine. Being in Boise, ID, the Snake River Valley Wine Region was very near, but after a week of family wedding festivities we wanted to relax and not drive. In researching we found that Cinder Wines has a tasting room just down the street from the RV Park where we are staying. Continue reading
What’s in a Name?
Most times we look at a city name and make an assumption about the meaning. So it was with Snowville, UT where we made a stopover. Thinking it had something to do with the amount of snow received since it is in northern Utah we could not have been more wrong. Continue reading

Bowie, TX – Day 2
Mobile RV Repairman is on his way which means it will be about two hours. Not wanting to just sit and wait, we headed to Bowie. Yesterday we noticed Sweet Boy’s Diner and decided to give it a try. John had biscuits and gravy and we both had coffee. Continue reading
Bowie, TX
Bowie, TX was to be an overnight stop and then back on the road. The truck did not even get unhooked. There is not much to Bowie and even less to the Passport Park we are staying in. Getting ready to leave this morning we each did our usual walk around and then we checked lights. For some reason the left tail light would light yet no signal, emergency flasher or break light; yikes! No worry, call Good Sam Roadside Assistance. Yikes again; it is Memorial Day and no Mobile RV Repair is available. The best they can do is tomorrow morning. We also tried to locate someone with no luck. Continue reading
