Day 9: Bonners Ferry Idaho to Bonners Ferry Idaho

We aren’t going anywhere! We found a gem of a spot and have no intention of getting back on the road today! Mikey says he woke up at 2 am and went outside, the moon was glowing so brightly he thought it was sunrise. This spot is beautiful. The boys pack up their fishing gear and head out to hike into the wilderness to catch some trout breakfast and I decide to hang around the campsite and take some pictures and do some laundry and run the pups around. They made it back, no fish but wet after chasing a few lures, ha ha. Matthew and I played some miniature golf that the camp offered and I kicked his butt pretty bad, 14 to 9 or something. The little course is surrounded by trees and healthy grazing palomino horses and a huge grass lawn, the owner is as nice as can be and her son and daughter help her run the place. We can ride our bikes around the whole park past the swimming hole and over by the boat launch we cross the river to find mikey fishing by the rapids. Matthew and I decide to ride the rapids on our butts over the rocks into the pool below, ha ha I lost the polish off at least 3 of my toes and it was worth it! What a fun ride. We all headed back to camp and made sandwiches before we took the canoe out into the rivers for some more fishing. The twin rivers, which is where the Moyie River meets the Kootenei River, happens to collide right in front of our camp, its pretty easy to get the canoe in the water there and it’s the first time all 3 of us try it out. I’d say it was a successful venture, no one fell in, however we only caught 2 fish. Matthew caught a tiny little fish that had a sucker mouth and I caught the prize 6 lb fish, we think it was a female walleye but I’m not sure, she was a fighter, so I let her go, soy dogs for dinner again! Another perfect evening campfire and a good sleep was in order after a long day, the days do seem longer here, and we are grateful for that. Back on the road tomorrow so we’ve got to relish the nightJ
