Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Our first view of Lake Coeur d’Alene We took a boat tour of the lake. View of downtown Coeur d’Alene from the boat. Some beautiful homes on this lake for sure! A few nice old wood boats too (Chris-Craft I believe) We met a nice couple from Minnesota on the boat; Manny and Carmen. These two are either an Eagle or Osprey nest, I’m not sure which is which. We found a cool bicycle theme bar and restaurant with the help of our good friend Dan Plummer and his fiancé Diane. Dan and Diane (sorry it’s out of focus, iPhone shot) Dan and I went fishing on his boat on Spirit lake. Dan caught a nice one; we didn’t get a picture of the tree branch I caught! Jan waited in the park on shore while we fished. The next day Jan and I had Happy Hour at the hotel downtown; nice view of the marina from there.
Missoula, Montana- our last stop in Montana We had a great camping spot at Jim & Mary’s RV Park in Missoula. Lots of space, beautifully landscaped with lots of trees, flowers and grassy areas. Jan’s high school friend Sally Friou came to dinner with her two pups, Cuba (little black dog) and Sita. She suggested some great places to visit while we were there! I got a dog fix too! We did a day trip to see a series of beautiful lakes. Met this little fella; not sure what kind he was but definitely a water snake! Another day we visited the Lolo Summit We had lunch at Lochsa Lodge, a beautiful hand hewn log lodge! View from the back dining patio of the lodge. We net Sally at Big Arm Campground at Flathead Lake. She was staying in one of the Yurts they have there. The view from her campsite. Sita enjoying the crystal clear water! Believe it or not there’s about 8-10 inches of water in this picture! A storm’s coming. On our way back Jan took this picture out the window; amazingly dry here!
Bozeman, Montana- short 4 day stay Our campsite, cleverly shot to keep out the freeway and railroad next door! Really nice campground none the less; large spots, lots of trees and grass! Our one excursion here; we were resting up after two weeks in Yellowstone! Really well done Computer and Robotics Museum. The first Apple computer. Anyone recognize this from school?!? A little computer nerd humor! Great quote I thought!
