Elks Lodge #1254
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Yesterday we took a short scenic drive to Farragut State Park near Bayview on beautiful Pend Oreille Lake. This was the site of the 2nd largest US Navy Training Base during World War II. It seems strange for it to be landlocked. The entire base of over 300 buildings and 35 miles of roads was built in 6 months. 
The museum is housed in the former brig.
This area is now a very nice state park with a swimming beach and campground.
On the other side of the lake is Sandpoint, a scenic town with a wonderful pie shop where we ate lunch.
This is a Peace Pole with the same message written in different languages on each side of the post.
When we got back to the campground, the host told us that quarter size hail fell while we were gone. We checked the camper, but didn't see any damage.
Today we drove over to Spokane for a stop at Riverfront Park. The park is built on the site of the former 1974 Expo. Love this sculpture of people running along the path.
I've never seen a wagon this big.
The handle is a slide.
It is very peaceful to walk along the river.
Spokane has an upper and lower falls on the river.
We spent this afternoon walking around Coeur d'Alene. This area is so pretty. It's quite a change from Arizona.
I thought maybe we'd see a picture of Dave going down the slide. That is a gorgeous area and definitely very different then AZ.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to Lewiston while you are in the area? There's a gorgeous state park in town right on the Snake River.
