I just wish Idaho was closer to Texas so I could enjoy some of that wonderful food, company and scenery.

Nevada is just south of Idaho, could be an easy one day ride on the Harley up there.  Might have to talk to the old girl (the Harley that is) and see if she's up for it.  ;)

Coeur d'Alene lake actually - I don't know about steelhead, but we have many species from land locked salmon to pike - we've an excellent RV park right on the lake which is an outstanding place to view 4th of July fireworks from.  We're thinking of parking the RV there just to enjoy the fireworks

Propane bottle hidden in the base - battery operated igniter makes it simple to operate!
