The first time this season.....

6:13 am - Tuesday - June 6th - LPG&RVR - 50° F, humidity 73%, wind 1 mph out of the north by northwest......cloudy today with a chance of rain this afternoon, and a forecast high of 79° F.  On this date in 2020 we had arrived in Island Park, ID just in time to beat the forecast rain......↴ 

We slept in Monday until after 7 am once again, and enjoyed our coffee until around 10 am when we decided to take a bicycle ride together, for the first time since last year when we rode our bikes into Cedarville, CA from Surprise Valley Hot Springs for lunch....that was the last time TLE rode her bike!  We decided to ride out to Jess Valley Road, and then into the town of Likely for which our golf course/RV park is named.....

....the entire town of Likely consists of about 2 blocks along US-395 consisting of the Volunteer Fire Department, Likely General Store, the local Post Office, and the no longer open for business, The Most Likely Café.  There is also a Saloon next to the General Store, which is also no longer open for business.

TLE enjoyed the ride, and admitted she would like to do it again.  We were back home a little after 11 am, and on our way, driving, into Alturas for our weekly shopping foray....

....we arrived at the Jess Valley Road entrance to LPG&RVR just as a local cattle drive had passed the entrance, and had to kind of creep along behind the cattle (mostly young stuff) for about 1/2 mile before the cowboys were able to move them off the road to let us, and another vehicle pass....

....we hit all the usual places in town (Ace Hardware, Rite Aid, Holiday Martket) before finishing at Rubio's Taqueria for some of their great street tacos.....TLE got their chicken taco, and I there Asada Taco plate (includes rice and beans, and three tacos).  Once we had our take out orders in hand we headed to the city park to our usual table to enjoy them, and the local ambiance....

....including a seagull...I think that's the same seagull that gave me the 'stink eye' north of Depoe Bay, OR back in November of 2020....lol...I wrote about that here.

....we were home around 2:30 pm at which time I sat down for a nap whilst TLE put away the groceries.  Around 3:45 pm I decided to go out and play 9 holes (the back 9) for the first time since we returned back in April.  My right shoulder has been unusually sore this season, but began to feel much better a few days ago, so I decided to give it a go.  As one might expect, there were as many bad shots, as good, but I was encouraged by the good shots.  I hit my driver pretty well, but stank at hitting my 3 wood off the grass.  I switched to my 5 wood for fairway shots after that, and hit it pretty well.  I two putted every green, so that's a good thing, but my chipping from just of the green was inconsistent.  My short game was also hit and miss.  My last hole, the 18th, was my best....I hit a great drive with my driver, and then hit an 8 iron just over the green.  I hit a great chip, and then just missed my par putt.....that hole made it all worth it!

By the time I got back to the Newell it was after 6 pm....where did the time go?

Thanks for stopping by!
