Visits to the Local Watering Holes; Ride Idaho

July 29, 2019.  One of the pleasant surprises from the Windbreaker's recent trip to Idaho to participate in Ride Idaho was the opportunity to visit some of the local "watering holes" in the towns we passed through along the way.  It turned out to be a great opportunity to meet local folks and get a true feel of the local lifestyle.  It all started on our road trip north to Boise, where Tom and I overnighted in Winnemucca, Nevada.  

Butch Cassidy's Hole in the Wall - Winnemucca, Nevada

From there, the four of us took every opportunity to make visits to help the local economy.  Ride On!  Following Boise, it was "Dirty Shames" in Crouch, Idaho, "Cowboy Chop House" in Emmett, The "Last Chance Saloon" in Homedale,
