Metaline, WA
We crossed the Pend Oreille River at Metaline. The view from the bridge up the northwestern branch of the river was so beautiful that Mandy and Sandy took another pass to get a proper picture. The river was squeezed between two steep rock cliffs and ran over rapids until it opened up again to the north. Mike and Angie were waiting a few miles north at another bridge. There was a little road leading up to the Box Canyon Reservoir, one of the towns Kevin Costner visited in The Postman. So, Mike, Angie, Tom and Mandy hiked 2 miles up the road to check it out while the rest remained below. When they returned, they took a swim in the pristine Crescent Lake.
