On Wednesday, July 31st, the last day of July, we drove to Sandpoint, ID again, and walked on the long bridge, that spans the narrowest part of Lake Pend Oreille. On the way we drove past the mountain we hiked up yesterday. As you can see the ski resort is only halfway up the mountain.
Later on, we saw another form of wildlife that had previously eluded us. That's right, we found not just one, but a pair of Bald Eagles in all their glory, sitting next to each other in a tree overlooking the East side of Lake Pend Oreille.
That is one predatory bird I wouldn't like to mess with; he looks like he means business.
We also saw the osprey again in a nest at the top of a dead tree right on the Main Street of Hope, Idaho (it is also the only street).
Then we drove out unto the Sam Owen Penninsula on the Eastside of Lake Pend Oreille to explore the Sam Owen State park and look for a local curiosity we were told about. It seems that a local wealthy family paid a huge sum to have a piece of the infamous "Berlin Wall" brought here to be put on display outside of their family compound.
Here's a picture that shows the detail on the segment.
Today was the last day of our adventure in the northern part of Idaho. We are leaving for the central part of Idaho tomorrow and more new adventures😊.
