I saw the moose our second day up here and a poodle chased it off, go figure.

Fisherman, good to see you on the porch! And congrats on finding and buying a house--that's so fast it makes my head spin! Any pics? So you'll be enjoying the fall in your own house in NID...you must promise to stop and smell the woodsmoke once in a while, and think of all those (us) you left behind

If I could do anything this weekend it would be to take my children and go on the boat cruise on Lake Pend Orielle and then maybe have a nice dinner at Jalapenos.

Crayola,
Where was your house in Clark Fork? On the north or south bank of the river? Trying to get to know our neighborhood!
I'm sure your porch looks wonderful--when we were in Sandpoint early last October there were still summer flowers in people's front yards. That's a longer growing season than I had thought. But I guess that depends on the first freeze!

Fish if that's your house I'm sick

Can I just hang out ??

Awww Fish,
that's beautiful! Exactly my idea of a perfect house in the NW woods. Congrats!!!

Now are you going to get a boat?

Trace_Rinaldi · 08-10-2009, 11:01 AM

Man thats a purty place to hang your hat Fisherman.. Congrats!!! You are living the dream!

Boat is on the list, but has to wait a bit. All the money went to the move. I need to put a few more pennies in the piggy bank first.

It will take a good year to get to know the area first. I keep driving around and almost run off the road because of the scenery. About 75-80 today with real clouds. They have weird looking squirrels here. My wife saw this thing that looked like a chipmunk on steroids.

Fisherman 100 · 08-10-2009, 11:11 PM

Thanks DR. You can come over anytime.

I am not good at north and south directions, but the house was off Old River Rd., on the side Heron MT is on.

Now I am in Sandpoint and love living in town. If I miss a more rural area I can just drive a few minutes and be out of town.

This will make your pennies go farther: Welcome to Nickel's Worth!
But of course you can just pick up a hard copy anywhere, you lucky dog! I'm still saving the one I picked up in June...

fantasizing about calling up about building supplies and sheds...but that probably won't happen until next year...

"Real clouds," I love that! I know exactly what you mean

Over in the Ross Creek Giant Cedars on 56 in MT they have flying squirrels! That's a great day trip. Wonder if they're in NID, too?
