Please do. But I think it's more than the hair. I randomly headbutt the ugly tree. Lol  

Aww! Dear Sandpoint! So many memories. Just hearing you love Idaho warms my heart. There was a game preserve peninsula of about 500 acres I used to horseback ride all over. Just wandering the forest... No one ever knew what I was up to or cared as long as I took the big Doberman guard with me! Good old, carefree days. ❤️ 

Melissa, I read your suggested adventure to my partner last evening. He immediately started looking for our favorite type of campsites (free) in that area! We may be going!!! 😀 

LOL I've definitely seen worse lookers than you, busjwanie. You look like a proud dad in your profile pic. 

Lonnie and Melissa. We are planning on going to the preserve if it's open. We weren't able to make it 4 yrs ago but passed by it. We went to Glacier last time but it was early June and road to the sun was still closed due to snow. Lonnie, we also went to Sawtooth mountains in Idaho. One of the most beautiful places on Earth! Redfish Lake up there was amazingly beautiful and what a fun party place. It's very festive.  

Thank you, Diana! Redfish Lake sounds awesome! I just told Kevin! 😉 

Your too kind. But reality is I've accepted certain things in life. I can control my body comp. The face not so much. But for real you have a very distinguished classy look about you. And yes I'm a proud daddy. Hard not to be. Thankfully they look like mamma. And have her brain too. They just have my goofy sense of humor and being super skinny like I was growing up.  

I appreciate you, busjwanie! Thank you, you just made my day! I've only seen the one picture of you, but you don't look too shabby to me. Goofy senses of humor are a really attractive quality too! 🙄 

Lonnie!!! It would be so cool if you did head up that way!!!!!! You would have to take so many pictures! Up on the old roads above Hope, where we lived on the lake, there were free camp sights. I never camped there, but I remember seeing basically wide spots with campfire rings and a place to turn around. A couple years ago I would have been able to direct you to some people with great property where you could stay, but they moved away... If you do decide to head up, tell me and I can at least tell you some beautiful places to visit.  

How mobile is what you haul with? As in, can you make it up old Mt roads if you leave your trailer behind? We used to drive up just a few miles off Hwy 200 to the absolutely most beautiful little lake. I could get your the road number and mile marker off the Hwy. It had a super overlook and then the lake was just so beautiful. We used to drive up and make a fire to roast hotdogs for my birthday as a teen. That was a long time ago, but we never saw other people there... Maybe a hunter in the fall.  

Look up Antelope Lake, Clark Fork Idaho. The pictures look just like how I remember it except they have done more clearing... There was only room for maybe two cars to park and an overgrown area by the lake to sit. 😁 I was always confused by the name. It isn't the kind of place to have antelope at all! Deer, moose, elk, bear, couger, wolves... But antelope??? Nope!  

Kevin is doing his research, Melissa. So far he's only found one free campsite that only allows you to stay for three days, which isn't enough for us. He's still looking, but a visit may have to wait until our budget is a little bigger. Then we can stay at an RV park. What we usually do is drop the trailer at a campsite, usually BLM land or a campground run by the Forest Service, and then do our exploring in our truck. We have a big 4×4 Dodge Ram that can go most anywhere. I'll let you know what we find out. BTW, I love your new profile pic! ❤ 

Looks good! I would've destroyed my husband's hair 😂😂 

What a life, Lonnie! There must be a downside, but I'd like to find it! 😁 I worked at a state park campground on that game preserve peninsula I mentioned just outside of Hope. Of course, not free, but cheaper than a real rv park and absolutely beautiful. I could show pictures there of me feeding a buck with a trophy size, amazing rack! Samowen campground. I used to ride my bike to get there! 😊 All this talk is making me so long to go for at least a car camping trip again!!!!!
