PICTURES

IDAHO & NORTHWEST 2006
 
July 15, 2006 - September 27, 2006

We left Sacramento to get out of the summer heat just before a record breaking hot spell.  Plans were to spend time in the lake country of northern Idaho.  It turns out that the heat wave was wide spread.  We soon decided to head for the ocean hoping for a break. Plans were to meander around the northwest until cooler weather came to Sacramento.
