The Five Corners Run 2010

This year, we will be traveling along the borders of the United States; from southern California to Brownsville, Texas- to Key West, Florida to the northern border of Maine- across the Great Lakes into Canada, to northwestern Washington, and finally back home.

12,000 miles - 30 states - 3 countries.

We call our little jaunt the Five Corners Run…

As proof that you can, from time to time, do it all, today was a low mileage, great fun day. The morning was warm, clear, sunny, and the sky was a deep blue with hardly a cloud. We have returned to shirt sleeves only, and the long range weather forecast is clear, warm weather with no rain. We took the time to clean and polish the bikes, and made arrangements to meet with Mike tomorrow morning. Mike had separated from us yesterday to visit with family members in Moscow, Idaho. We arrived early, checked into a hotel, and then drove to the Coeur D'Arlene Resort Golf Course for a round of golf. We were paired with a husband and wife from Sacramento, who were very pleasant. The round of golf could have been better, but the course and its surroundings were fantastic. The lake was beautiful, and the staff at the course, including our caddie, Jason, were great. This truly is one of the country's best golf courses. After playing golf, we had a bite to eat, and mossied on over to the Iron Horse Saloon for a cocktail or two. A great day.
