Lake Pend Oreille |
Just beyond Sandpoint there is a little town called Hope, Idaho. We are at a campground just a little beyond town and that's called Beyond Hope Resort. Really! The resort is right on the banks of Lake Pend Oreille (pon-der-ray) which is the largest lake in Idaho with a surface of 148 square miles.
Our site backs up to a game preserve and there are dozens of deer all over the place. I have already spoken to several of them and now find them quite boring. They just eat grass, look up at me, ignore me, and continue eating grass. I am now acting very cool when I see them, two can play this game.
One really neat thing; we think there is an eagle's nest right outside our kitchen window. At least it looks like an eagle's nest and we can see a BIG bird with a white head moving around in the nest.
I thought that when we got back to the United States all our phone and Internet issues would be resolved- not so! Jim's pictures are somewhere in Verizon limbo and I'm still using the Park's WIFI to post this. If I have this much trouble tomorrow night I might just give up and wait until we get to the city! I'm buying Kathe a cell phone booster for her birthday.
It least we have Direct TV for the first time twenty days, so I can watch my Animal Planet.
