So much has happened since our last entry. This picture was taken from an excursion boat on Lake Poulson. Before leaving Polson, we toured a huge buffalo preserve and attended another rodeo. What a blast.
Yesterday we arrived at our campsite in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. Coeur d' Alene (CdA) is very much like Lake Placid in the Adirondacks but 20 times the size. We circumvented the lake today. It is spectacular and the homes bordering the lake eliminate any doubt that there is a lot of wealth in thse Idaho hills.

Deer and elk shed their annually. All of these were picked up in the buffalo preserve.
















Montana's Big Sky. It is impossible to capture the magnificence and magnitude of this viewpoint. The distant mountains to the right of the picture are in Canada, about 35 miles to the north.

This is about half of a group of bass boats who had just completed a weekend competition on Lake CdA. The catch of bass are kept in live wells. Here for the measuring, they are placed alive in large bags filled with water from the lake. They are taken out of the bags and the catch is weighed. The fish are then returned to the same area in the lake where they were caught.
If they are as stupid as one might expect they will probably suffer the same fate next weekend. Go figure, but it was fun to watch.
