Not sure who came up with the name Boogie for skydiving gatherings, but it's catchy and it sticks! Boogies take place everywhere around the country and world. It's just a fun time for skydivers to meet and jump out of big airplanes and party. So Chuck and I rented a car drove our way to our first out-of-state boogie held in Montana. We decided to drive through Northern Idaho since neither one of us had really seen much of it. Our first stop, Coeur d'alene. We arrived later in the evening during an unusual windy day to the point of canceling all boating activities on the lake. The next day, we drove around part of the lake towards Harrison, a quaint little lakeside town where we had a picnic and ice cream.
Next stop, Wallace, Idaho. There's over a hundred years of history in this mountain town, we've learned from a former miner that gave us a little tour of one of the mines. It all started because the mountains were rich with silver. A railroad track was built, now turned into a bike trial, "
Route of the Hiawatha". After a restful night spent at our little saloon hotel, we made our way up to Lookout Pass Mountain (by the way,a few months earlier received a worldwide record of six and a half feet of snow in one week) to rent our bikes and ride this trail out. It was beautiful!

Looks like fun! I wanna go on a trip like that - the silver mine and the bike trail sound cool.
