Border closed my “good” fortune

Our kids/grandkids made a last minute decision to drive from the LA area to here in the Inland Pacific Northwest. They were able to find a waterfront cabin available on Lake Pend Orielle in northern Idaho. This cabin is about a hour away from our house and they want us to come up and spend some time at the lake with them, particularly on July 4th.

Since we have a dog and the cabin they rented doesn't allow pets we thought we would bring our trailer up for a few days. Well as you can imagine getting a reservation for July 3rd and 4th this late normally would be impossible. I contacted an RV park located just a few miles from the cabin and of course they were booked. BUT, this area is only a few miles from the Canadian border and most of the reservations the park had were from Canadian customers. So they put my name on a list for cancellations just in case the border didn’t open in June as scheduled. Well with yesterday’s announcement of the border closing extending until Jul1 21st I received a call today and got a spot for the 4th.

I feel real bad for the people who had the reservations who now can’t use them and am considering myself very fortunate to be able to spend a few days with the grandkids at the lake.

Not Farragut tho I really like that place. The kid’s cabin is near Hope ID so we found a spot just a few miles from the cabin. We’re going to leave the dog in the trailer so we need to be close to check in on him. Dogs and kids.......

Glad you made your trip to Farragut.
