Next we headed to Moscow, ID for the farmer's market. A very popular and surprisingly affordable place to spend your Saturday, the market boasts vendors of every kind including a woman making bars of shampoo and acne/mosquito repellent/sunscreen. For people watching we did not get to see as many gun racks as we had hoped but there was a terribly awful banjo player and several mohawks.
Speaking of mohawks and awful banjo players we drove next to Troy, ID for Troy Dayz (yep spelled with a "Z"). Troy Dayz features a parade of old cars (not just classic but also dirty), a bouncy castle, a first aide station run by a guy smoking, a cloud of onion ring smell filling the air which was nicely complemented by the blaring banjo music. Within the town there are two restaurants and we decided to patronize the one not formerly affiliated with meth sales. At the Filling Station cafe the food was good and the staff friendly though Sara did mention it seems to be a little hit or miss on actually getting the food. Even with the appeal of lawn mower racing and buffalo chip tossing we took a nice walk around the outskirts of Troy instead. Though we didn't see a mama bear and her cub as Sara had once we did encounter a squirrel that seemed to be both chattering and shrieking at us at the same time.
Back at the homestead we lounged like bears and laughed like the squirrel in the tree. And we had cake.
