Lake Coeur D'Alene

The RV park where we are staying rents pontoon boats so when we got up this morning, we called and were lucky enough to be able to reserve one for this afternoon. (We woke up an hour earlier than planned because I forgot to reset my alarm clock to pacific time...oops.) At 2pm, we set out on the 18 footer. It was a great and relaxing day. The water was really clear and we could see the bottom until around, maybe, 20 feet? It seemed kind of chilly (we're from the south) but all the local kids were swimming and the other people on the lake were partaking in the normal boating activities so we decided to take a swim. Mike tried to set up the camara to take a photo of us jumping off the boat, but this is the photo we got instead. Keep in mind, this was taken right after we hit the water for the first time...it was very refreshing.

It was a really nice day! Here's another scenic shot.

Tomorrow we're going mountain biking on an old railroad route. It used to be a railroad line but now it is used for hiking/biking. The section we're going to ride is 15 miles of 2% grade downhill. At the end, we'll take a shuttle back up to our car. We will be going through multiple tunnels and over some tressels. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous. I can't wait!
