Leaving Idaho

     I spent 2 1/2 weeks at Twinlow Camp.  I enjoyed the time there and working with the staff.  I did some more painting and cleaning.  I also weeded and raked.  In a forest of spruce and ponderosa pines, there's a lot of raking to be done.
     When I left, I spent all day driving to northern Washington to visit family.  It was too much for me in one day- I was ready to sell the RV for the first offer.  But I made it there, and got refreshed while being spoiled with all the pampering.  There were some sunny days before we were  provided with a week of true Washington weather.  Get out the rubber boots!

Twinlow Camp Rathdrum, ID

     I have been here a week.  What a beautiful spot!!!!  The camp is on the side of a hill (mountain) and goes down to a large lake.  There are some summer homes beside the camp's property, but otherwise, very secluded.  I am parked in front of a large house, one of the camp's original buildings.  I can use the facilities there (kitchen, shower, washer/dryer).  It has a large staircase going down to it's own dock.  cool.  In the picture, I am standing on the deck of the dining hall looking down at the lake.  My RV is in front of the house.
     So far, I have cleaned the dormitory-like facility that is used for retreats, helped a group install a tongue and grove pine ceiling in a cabin (I got to use the power tools!!), and am now painting window trim in the original lodge.
     Last week was cold and damp, but this week has been perfect!!  I can sit on the dock and read and feed the fish.
