It's all about Spokane

Wednesday Aug. 20

Today would be spent going east to do a loop around Coeur d'Alene Lake.


I-90 in the distance


Homes, resorts, cabins, docks and marinas...then more homes, cabins and docks, perhaps thinning a bit the farther you ride south along the 20+ miles of shore on the eastern side of the lake






I would think that boat mechanics and dock installers / repair people would always be in demand here.



After the lake area, the St. Joe National Forest riding hiway 6 was spectacularly good, and then after you come out of the forest, it's back to wheat fields and hay


The bike spent lunch in the shade of the flag at a park in Potlatch


And then a sea of wheat as I meandered north by northwest back to the hotel


From the curvy, forested shores of the lake, throught the rises and descents of the forest, and then back to wide open agricultural areas--it provides a wonderful mix of inviting riding.
