Farragut State Park Idaho

Hello,  How are you?  Harry and I are now at Farrgut State Park, Athol Idaho.  We shall be camp host this season for the park.  We will be the eyes and ears for the Locust Grove camp area.
We arrived April 28th and spent a few days at Blackwell RV park in Coeur D Alene. We wanted to have time with our very special friends Roc and Mary.  Both being natives of Idaho they give you all the heads up on what to do and not. Mary is a wonderful cook always a delight to have dinner with them. After dinner we are learning to play Pinochle a fun game but I still have a long way to go in order to master the game. Mary being a sweetheart asures me I have potential.   
CDA is a awesome town population about 32,000. May be a small town but has all the excitement of a big city.    Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Fine Dining, Shopping for the Best, Wines & Wine Tasting  something for all ages. Having friends in the area gives us a advantage. Enjoying all the local favorites.    
There are  several small towns and each have a unique history. The scenery is breath taking, snow a top the moutains peaks, lush pine trees as tall as skyscrapers. Clouds a brillant white that float endless in the blue sky.  My friends,  I find myself falling deeper in love each passing day with North Iadho.
The hometown people are friendly they make you feel right at home. Loving it !!!!!!!!!
Let me tell you a little about camp host. Job description clean restrooms, mowing, using weed wacker cleaning fire rigs,washing pinic tables and raking camp sites, sweeping patios, in general tidy tidy.
I know you are thinking what have we gotten ourselves into. Really it sounds much worse than it is.
The park is equipped with a lot of machines that does the bulk of the work for you.  Pour a little simple green on the pinic tables then wash down with the water hose.  Same with bathroom simple green in toilets give em a flush, a splash in the sink turn the water on and your done. Riding mowers put your I POD in the ears and off I go done in about 30 min.  The leaf blowers does all the sweeping of the camp sites. We will also sell bundles of fire woods. Believe me this is not a bad gig. Know different than maintaing a yard back home, much nicer weather and loving the outdoors. The weather is wonderful daytime highs usually mild 70's and night air can be a little chilly 50 to 55.  This past week a cold front did come through with our area under a freeze warning, mainly for tender vegetation. This being the middle of May I am still able to wear my boots and sweaters pretty cool huh. [hmm a pun] you can't do that in Texas.
Saturday evening we had a welcome pot luck for all the camp host.  There are 8 couples who volunteer for the season.  Although Roy and Sue will leave Tues. they came early march to get the park up and running for early birds campers. They are also Texans the Dallas area. Lovely people and a true Texas accent. Two couples live here in the CDA area, we have a couple from Iowa, Neveda, and Arizona.
They will be a few more as the season progress.  The park ranger in charge of the camp host is a hoot she has many fun things planned activies. To name a few  supper club,  happy hours,  game night, a ride on a pontoon boat,  ladies night in Bayview,  Sunday morning country boy breakfast in Athol. Not sure when we will get the work done. She and her boyfriend [Jason also park ranger] are buying a home they are planning a patio party.  So much to to do so little time.
Bye for now. All be safe.
XOXOX
