Coeur D'Alene Idaho  7/04

Coeur D'Alene & River City Rod Run

The trip this year was extended to 3 days to give time to attend the River City Rod Run put on by the Hot Rod Cafe.  Since it is an 800 mile round trip, 3 days also gave a little time to relax from all the driving.  Next year there is talk of turning it into a 4 day trip to give more time to participate in the Rod Run.
