Friday August 17 – Saturday August 18, 2018
We got a slow start Friday (Heather and Erik’s 17th Anniversary). We were on the 10 AM tour for the Sierra Silver Mine.
We had a nice ride thru Wallace and up to the mine. Our guide made the tour interesting, sometimes too technical for me but Lenny was in his element.
It was a fun tour. Our guide said he was a 4th generation miner. He had many stories about the miners. After the tour we visited the booths set up on the street for the Huckleberry Festival. We purchased a few things we couldn’t live without.
The evening found us checking out menus at the various restaurants. We ended up at City Limit Brew Pub again. Very busy there on Friday night. And they had that cold Mountain Top Ale for us. The RV park was full for the weekend.
Sorry to leave Wallace behind. It was such a pleasant little town. But it was time to head for Washington. I hear there are at least 100 miles of bike trails waiting there for us.
Arrived at KOA in Spokane Valley, WA around 1 PM. Beautiful drive past north shore of Lake Coeur D’alene. Bike trail (Centennial Trail State Park) just 1/4 mile down the road. YAY!!
Wallace looks like a neat town and dad appears to be taking the drilling job very seriously. I am enjoying the pics and and your stories are great. I especially like that the blog is real time! I know you must be tired after riding and all the preparations needed, but it’s really cool to follow your trip as it’s happening. Thanks for taking the time to do it!
