I have to keep reminding myself what day it is. We need to be out by 10:00 a.m Friday which means laundry and packing (and opera) on Thursday which means this is our last day to explore the area.
So, off towards Priest Lake. This area is truly spectacular, especially in good weather - luckily all sun today. We stopped in Priest River to walk around and have lunch. Don was impressed by the fire hydrant and the tall pole attached to it. We assume it's for guiding the snow plow - how deep does the snow get? It's well above my head.Then off towards the lake. There are some residential groupings around the lake and spaces for boats but no one in sight. This area has SEASONS!
We came upon a mountain
lodge being built (no one evident in residence). We see lots of stumps and sometimes wonder whether the trees are diseased or people here just go through a lot of firewood.The locals here really are ready for spring. We hear it gets pretty flooded during the spring thaw. There are two dams on the lake and the lake is allowed to get low during the winter to allow for the overflow in the spring.
This evening we watched two DVDs on the area, "Sandpont at the North End of the Long Bridge" and "Bayview - The Early Years" - quite interesting. There's a lot of water activity in the summer and ski activity in the winter. I like it here now because it's not crowded.

This looks like an interesting place. Spring is probably right around the corner.
Enjoy your last day there & the opera. it will be interesting to see how many people end up going. it may be VERY intimate!
