In the morning of day 15 we packed up camp and hit he road. We discovered that my bike tire had a flat, so we looked for a town with a bike shop and someplace to grab some lunch.
We found a cute town called Coeur D'Alene that met our needs. First we had to stop and get a new lightbulb for our Scamp brake lights. Then, we found a bike shop where we talked with the workers there to choose a place for lunch while they fixed my tire. The culprit? Some thorns in my tire. After a quick fix we headed to one of their lunch recommendations--a brewery called the Daft Badger. We put the pups in the Scamp and walked to the restaurant. The food and beverages were delicious. My Brie, bacon, and apple sandwich with arugula salad hit the spot. It is incredible to have someone else prepare your meal when you are on a road trip!
After finishing our lunch, we got back on the road in search of our next campsite for the night. We crossed into another state--Washington(a new state for Kevin)--and after driving through miles of apple orchards we settled on a Army Corp of Engineers park called Fishhook.
The park is quite popular so when I walked in to inquire about a site for the night I wasn't sure what kind of site we would end up with, but the campground host hooked us up with an amazing location! Site #16 has no neighbors and is situated directly on the lake. We said we wanted to get more sites located on water this year, and we are definitely meeting that goal. Scout swam for ages in the lake while we cleaned out the Scamp and set up our campsite.
This site also had power, so we took the opportunity to recharge the trailer's battery. Once Scout dried off and we enjoyed a little down time by the fire we headed to bed. Little did I know that Kevin had some big plans in store for the next day--ones that weren't originally on the "agenda"--so it's good that we got some good rest at Fishhook!!!!
