We were only here for several days, but this was a good layover. The KOA was really good and we had a great parking space, we ate at a couple of good local restaurants, and of course made it to a quilt shop!

Coeur d’Alene was where we turned around to head back south, and even though we stayed in Missoula before, there was not any other logical place to stop. This time we stayed at the KOA.

Location:
Snake River RV
Idaho Falls, ID
Idaho Falls worked out to be on the way to Coeur d’Alene and Montana, but also to stop and meet David and Kerry Bowman. I’ve known them from the internet since 1997, this was truly a bucket list visit. We had really enjoyed Sioux Falls SD and Idaho Falls was just as pretty.

Location:
Traveland RV
Logan, UT
We stayed in Logan for two days, and were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed the town. Traveland was nice, clean, and efficient. While reading the history, I learned that the name of the valley came from the fact that the mountain men stashed their supplies in the valley – a “cache” – when they trekked into the mountains.
