St Maries, Idaho



We traveled to Heyburn State Park about 40 miles south of Coeur d' Alene Idaho on Thursday. The park is one of the oldest parks in the Pacific Northwest at 100 years old. It's a awesome place with pine covered mountians and lakes. The trailer just fit in the camp space and we could watch the deer birds and squirrels from the back window of the trailer.


The park consists of about 6000 acres on the shores of Lake Chatcolet. Fishing was good and we caught a "mess" of Crappie from the shore.





The View from the mountian looking back at Lake Chatcolet is truly awesome !











The view of the lake just seemed to get better around each turn.







The best part of visiting the area was seeing Sharleen's Niece Robin, Great Niece Ananda and Robins' boyfriend Jerry.






Robin and Jerry took us to the cabin they are building on the top of a mountian. It's truly a "labor of love" and working in such a pretty place has got to be fun. I wouldn't get much work done because I would be constantly stopping to admire the view.




I's now Sunday afternoon and we are in Spokane at the KOA. Too bad we had to leave Heyburn but we will be back to see the loved ones and the awesome scenery.

Looks like another beautiful spot to visit! You are getting some really nice pictures. I just took two photographs to the fair. I doubt I will win any ribbons...but it is always fun to try! Ella entered three pieces of art and James entered one. We will know tomorrow night how they did.
