Camping in Coeur d'Alene





Since we hadn't camped in quite a number of years, with the exception of a weekend camping trip with Ruth to a campground in Glenns Ferry, we weren't sure how the experience was going to turn out. Here are some photos of our campsite.

Have you ever noticed that when you buy a tent, it comes in a compact little bag. Then when you set it up and take it down, you stand back and ask yourself, "How is that going to fit into that little bag?" Les demonstrates how to make it work.

Coeur d'Alene

After nearly 20 years of living in Idaho, we finally took the time to visit northern Idaho for a few days. We discovered a land that was absolutely gorgeous with blue skies and beautiful lakes. We found a campground that was located a few miles east of Coeur d'Alene (Wolf Lodge Campground) to make our home base. From there, we spent three days traveling around the area and enjoying the sites.
