We had the opportunity today to take our neighbour up on an offer to go swimming. Yes we have a neighbourhood, neighbours, locals that wave and stop to chat, and of course pet Winston. We were going to go to the mall to find a shirt that stated “I lived in Trail”. I figure that if you have been in one spot more than 30 days you are a resident.
The swimming was great! And finally got the opportunity to use the two pool noodles that Barb brought with us that I have been trying to cut for the slide outs so I can stop banging my head. Barb on the other hand finds this humerus and has been fighting me all the way convinced we were going to use them some day to swim. Today we were in Pend Oreille river which was warm and didn’t have any current (not like the Columbia). It was against huge cliffs on one side, seriously glorious. We had some pictures taken and you won’t see the noodles as Barb said we needed to hide them under the water. Which is when Barb told me to Control my Noodle !
When we get the pics from the ”neighbours” we will post them (now posted below). Too bad we did this on our last day, but thankful we did this on our last day!!!
We will be happy to leave Trail, but sad to see it go. We really have made some friends here, whether only for a few days, or for the duration of our stay. It has been wonderful as you really can’t get to know a place if you are just passing through.
