Bike riding on the awesome Coeur d' Alene trail.

We arrived at the Spokane Elks RV parking area and have been busy visiting family here in Spokane.

Denny, Laura and Ashley visit with Granny and Opa at our Elks camping spot in Spokane, Washington. We have what I would call the best spot in the park...on the end with a large grass area.

Even though Ashley is allergic to dogs, she isn't too affected by our two Havanese.

Granny loves her little "Missy" and Missy is like a shadow, always following Granny around.

Our first outing on the bikes is a short one with Ashley, who is still on training wheels.

We rode near the Idaho and Washington border to try out the Centennial Bike Trail that runs through Washington, Idaho and into Montana.

Ashley did very well on our ride. The adults had multiple gears to use and she only had the one and we rode three miles...
good job Ashley!

We rode up to the Idaho/Washington border which parallels the freeway in this section.

Here we are on the bike trail, which at one time was a railroad track, right below the Idaho border. It is so great that a  government will divert public funds for the betterment of a local population.

Elmer's Fountain has an interesting history and is a wayside along the 90 highway.

The water from Gold Creek is the power behind these fountains.

There is always a chance we will never be seen again...ha ha.

Starting our long distance ride from Mullan, Idaho to Catalogo, Idaho. It is a 30 mile ride down to where we left Denny's truck.

The main part of our ride is along the Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes.

Along the trail there are many resting spots with bathrooms and tables to inhale some energy treats.

OK, so you want me to stand here and take my photo...why? Oh, I get it...Denny is going to drop me off here :-) This is the town of Kellogg along the bike trail.

I was so stoked at seeing this "Flexible" from the 1950's here in Kellogg. I love these old motorhomes, especially when they are 

restored to original or near original condition. (no, I didn't buy it)

Along the 30 miles that we rode, the trail did change names to the Silver Valley Trail. Another popular route is the Hiawatha Bike Trail. The Hiawatha is a smooth dirt bike trail with many rules and tunnels. Just being dirt restricts me from trying it as I have never been a off road type of rider. 

Denny must of gotten his height from his mother? ha ha  Here we are after about 20 miles on the trail and not seeing much wildlife other than a squirrel. I told Denny that I wanted to see a mammal in the water...and soon!

OMG! Just a few miles down the road Denny spotted two mammals (what we think were yearling moose) on the bank of the river. I was so stoked at coming across these beautiful animals, we watched them for 20 minutes or so. They seemed unconcerned that we were near them and went about their business as if no one was watching.

How cool is this?

At the end of the day... Denny, Granny and Ashley are out looking for geocache items near the Elks Club while Opa was passed out on the couch!
