Idaho Falls, Idaho (8/1/20 - 8/4/20) Blog post 102

This is our first stop in Idaho. We are staying at the Snake River Rv Park, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Less than a 5 minute bike ride, takes us to the Snake River Greenbelt and then into Freeman Park. Freeman park has a huge frisbee golf course, and many picnic areas.

        (Day 1- exploring surrounding bike paths- Freeman Park)

    (Snake river bike/walking path under road)








                                                  (Day 2- ride to the Idaho Falls)
 























         (After viewing Falls, went and rode the backside of the falls)

(Looks like an infinity pool)





     Took a walk into the river before heading home- but what you can't see is that the bikes are right at the edge of a 3 foot drop. I was getting off my bike when I hit the throttle by accident, and we watched my bike (seemed like slow motion) go right off the edge, down the 3 foot drop into the sand. DOH! Luckily there was sand down below. Neil just had to oil my left brake where all the sand decided to go.






Day 4- Bike ride past the Idaho Falls across the main street and into Rock Gardens











(Bike ride back from Rock Garden)



                     After Rock garden, we headed back to Freeman park




( I love how mother nature reseeds and creates its own beautiful garden of natures flowerpots)

Manager threatened to terminate our Thousand Trails Membership; 2/2023 (Out of order)

Image
7/8/24 UPDATE WE WON! See unofficial ruling below! We won our Court case against Thousand Trails Management Services and Equity Lifestyles the Parent company for falsely terminating our membership!   On 6/27/24 We had our Court case where the judge read all the evidence submitted. The VP representative for Equity Lifestyle tried to evade the judges questions as to who owns the Soledad Canyon  RV park in Acton, CA. He kept trying to say that the name "Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon" does not exist. The judge asked- I am confused- who owns "The Soledad Canyon RV park", to which he responded " MHC  Thousand Trails". Judge asked who own "MHC Thousand Trails" to which the VP responded very quietly "Equity Lifestyle Management"! The judge asked about if there was an offer to settle and the VP said yes we believe we offered $2000 but they declined. The judge then asked if we attempted to contact to settle to which I responded yes Judge multipl

Willow Bay Rv Resort in Nine Miles WA and Thousand Trails Newport/Diamond Lake KOA July 2021(Blog post 159)

From July 5-8, 2021, We stayed 3 days at the Willow Bay RV resort via our Coast to Coast membership. The views were spectacular, but the park not so much, fortunately we paid 0 dollars. Some sites have only 1 pedastal for 3 sites that have to share causing 1 of the people to have to back into site.  This park is also has no sewer hookup, nor a dump station. If we have to stay at this park again, it will most likely just be for a 1 night stay. We left Nine Miles and headed to Newport, Wa to the Thousand Trails Newport and Diamond Lake KOA.  When you enter the park the registration is on the right where the KOA and dump stations are located. There is no sewer at this park and they make sure to tell you when you arrive and the many signs also indicating no sewer.    The sites are first come first serve with water and 30 amp service. We found a incredible site nestled in the trees, though the power pedastal was on the opposite site of the RV. Luckily we had an extension cord. We rode our b

Biking on the Trail of Coer'd'Alene in Wallace, Idaho July 2021 (Blog post #158)

Image
 We arrived to the Blue Anchor Rv park in Osburn, Idaho for the 4th of July holiday.  Just a 2 minute bike ride out of the park is the Trail of the Coer'd'Alene. The trail is 73 miles long and paralles the Cour'd'Alene river. We rode on the trail several times during our stay. Several hours after arriving we set out on our first ride, heading west, riding 6 miles. The views were so stunning. The next day on 4th of July, we set off, this time heading east on the trail. We rode through the town of Wallace. It was a really cute town, and looked like a great place to relax outside and eat, but it was too early in the morning for us to stop to eat.  We found many places along the trail with plenty of shade and picnic tables or benches to sit and enjoy the Coeur'd'Alene river.  We had such a wonderful time riding this trail and plan to ride more of the trail on future visits along the trail.
