Farragut state park is a 4000 acre park in northern Idaho at the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains. It was used in WW2 as a training campus for the navy due to the size and depth of the lake. 300k sailors trained there over the course of it’s 30…

We made a trip into Wichita today to do some exploring. Had an amazing time and got to see lots of sights, including Keeper of the Plains botanical gardens and the veterans park. We had lunch at Bite Me BBQ.

Left out at 6:15am and everything was good, damn brakes broke loose again but we’re in Kansas so not a big deal, need to do something about that before we get into the mountains, or at least trying to get out of them, it was good for the first 4 hours and then on and…
