Bosie ID

It's Friday, and we land at Country Corners RV Park in Caldwell on the outskirts of the Boise area. It's a campground that looks like many others we've visited. We decide to venture outside this county park and head to Boise proper and take a walk along the Bosie River Greenbelt.

The Boise River Greenbelt is a series of pathways/trails that run for miles along the Boise River. We start at the Willow Lane Athletic Complex and make it past the Whitewater park before turning back.

Question: What water sport would you just not expect to see in Idaho?
Answer: Surfing... (at least our answer) but there it was, right in front of us at the Whitewater park on the Boise River.

The next day, we spend exploring the Boise wine country. Did you know Boise had a wine country? I didn't. The first place we visit is the Huston Vineyards on Chicken Dinner Rd in Caldwell.

There, I make Tom buy me the Chicken Dinner white wine just for the name.

Then we head over to Fujishin Family Cellers. We get to sample quite a few interesting wines and the tasting is free!

The final day in Caldwell is spent at the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately for us, there wasn't much wildlife about while we were there. We did manage a distant view of an osprey nest. 

 We move on to the Bosie KOA the next day to move closer to the RV repair shop in Boise. At this point in time, 3 out of the 4 hydraulic leveling jacks on the Beast are no longer working. So we have our fingers crossed that Wilson's RV Repair will have us fixed and on our way in a day or two. But this was not to be...turns out our fears were true, it will take 7-14 days for the parts to arrive. So how will we bide our time waiting for the parts?
Wellllll, it seems that Tom has been wanting to go to Star Valley in Western Wyoming, where there is a nice RV resort, with both golf and pickleball!

EASTWARD HO!
