POST FALLS, IDAHO

We had a really good trip from Moses Lake to Post Falls.  It was not as long as some of our trips and it was a beautiful sunny day.  We passed through some beautiful farm land and felt like we were on top of the world until we saw the Rocky Mountain in the distance.  We started climbing and got into the pines a while before we got to Spokane as we started into the Rocky Mountains.  We got into Post Falls early afternoon and had time to do some shopping and get Max’s oil changed, etc. We stayed at the Suntree RV Park.  After dinner we drove around and found a really pretty park and took some pictures.  The next day we drove up to Sandpoint and Bonner’s Ferry.  There was so much construction, it took us about 1 1/2 hours to go the last mile into Sandpoint.  We had rainy and then sunny times but it was beautiful and now I know why Carolyn and Dad love the area so much.  Here are some pictures we took during our stay in Post Falls.

The actual Post Falls.  One of the town fathers was named Post and

he built a sawmill and gristmill on these falls.

Lake Pend Oreille (which is pronounced “pond-uh-ray”) on

the way to Bonner’s Ferry.  This lake is 43 miles long

and is the largest lake in Idaho.  Pictures are taken

from a bridge crossing the lake.

We enjoyed our few days in Post Falls.  A lot of fireworks on the Fourth of July.  Everyone was out enjoying the many lakes in the area.  We kind of took it easy and got ready to leave the next day.  We enjoyed the area very much, and could have stayed a few more days but it was time to move on.
