Spirit Lake

We left Beauty Creek after a leisurely picnic breakfast at out makeshift campsite and headed north. We decided not to go to Lake Louise and Banff after all, but to cross into Canada and then travel west across the southern-most edge on Hwy 3 toward Vancouver. If all went well, we would visit the Olympic National Forest and the town of Forks (made famous by the Twilight series).
Our first stop was 10 or 15 miles north of Coeur d'Alene on Hwy 41 at Spirit Lake. It is a lovely little lake with sparkling water, little islands of lily pads, a gravel beach and several docks for launching boats and people. Every one went in the chilly but wonderful water except Charlotte (who was asleep) and Ian who was doing whatever Ian does.
