June 1 - Today Joe and I drove up to Priest River and Priest Lake to check out the museum I had been told about. We went up through Sand Point and across Lake Ponderay, which is huge. It was about 70 miles or so up there, and we did find the museum (not easy). It wasn't exactly what I expected -- it was more about the Priest Lake area, mining, logging, and the CCCs who were stationed right there. But the museum was housed in a building built by the CCCs, and it was a very pretty setting. Then we stopped at a local art gallery who shows a friend's work (Darleen Lodge). We saw a wild turkey today, but that was the only wildlife. We drove back a different way and hit the corner of Washington State for about 2 blocks.
Tonight we went down to Lake Coeur d'Alene. It says it has the longest floating boardwalk in the world. We walked the boardwalk and went inside the resort. The marina sure had some nice boats in the marina there. They do dinner cruises on the lake, and parasailing. It was quite beautiful.
Collins got his brake problem taken care of today, and Joe and Dave both fixed their problems, so tomorrow we are going to tour the Buck Knife factory, then we are heading across the border to Collins' cousin. I don't expect to have Wi-Fi for a few days, but I will keep the camera handy in hopes of being able to post pictures again soon.
