Did the visit help? Did you decide on which area you want to buy? Or are you more confused than ever?

Have a good, safe trip home.

Be careful, you have a long drive home, it has been nice following your trip, I felt like i was there with you......a few more weeks, and I will be on my way up. Now, I cant wait!!

I hated to leave! If I could have, I would have stayed! We're in Effingham, IL tonight. 4 more days of driving and I'll be home in my own bed! Then the work begins in earnest and getting our house up for sale is #1 on the list! Have fun at the lakes. I hope to be back as soon as possible. It all depends on how soon things get done and our house sells (and his parents get moved too)

I like the north and east sides of the lake... or the less crowded parts. The visit helped a lot.

I agree, but you did visit at the absolute busiest time of year. Realize that the crowded areas are usually much more manageable.

After 5 days of hard driving, we are in Mountain Home, Idaho. We are within a day of home, but we may not get there as there are 11 wildfires currently burning in Central and Eastern Oregon. We need to go directly through the area to get to the Willamette Valley.

It seems that while we were away enjoying the rain and lightening storms in New Hampshire, they were enjoying a dry heat wave and lightening storms which set off the 11 wildfires covering several thousands of acres all told... I hope this isn't a bad year for fires!

I was stationed there in the 1970's. Take rte 20 and for a short trip, go to Anderson Ranch Dam and reservoir. Beautiful area. Or drive to Sun Valley. or go southeast of the town to Bruneau Canyon, then continue to the C J Strike Dam and back to Mt Home. or go to Boise and enjoy the beautiful park.

Yeah, I loved the area.

Hope you don't get delayed too much.
