“Here We Go Bulldogs, Here We Go”, is a familiar chant you will hear around Memorial Field any given Friday night during highschool football season. It was Friday night and homecoming so my friends and I headed down to the field to catch the game.

Hiking Trapper’s Trail at Round Lake State Park near Sandpoint Idaho
After strapping on our hiking shoes and filling up our water backpack, we headed south out of Sandpoint about 8 miles to Dufort Road. We turned right (west) onto Dufort and went about 2 miles to the entrance of the park on the left (the route there was well marked with appropriate signage). We paid our $4.00 entrance fee and headed on in to the day-use area. The sparkling water and soft sands of the lake tempted us – oh, if only it were a slight bit hotter! – but we stayed focused on the task at hand. Heading to the west side of the day-use area we found the trailhead for what is actually three trails. We opted to hike Trapper’s Trail, a trail that follows the lakeshore closely, with a small diversion down Cocolalla Creek.
Granite Falls - Priest Lake Idaho
Located in the Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars is Granite Falls. My friends and I were taking a leisurely Sunday drive around Priest Lake and stopped here to see the falls. We pulled into the parking lot and campground, finding only one other group there. We got out of the truck and walked to the 1 mile round trip trail.
A Shoe Tree, Huckleberries and Elkins Resort - a trip around Priest Lake
It had been years since I had been to Priest Lake and this year I had been begging my boyfriend to take me as he is pretty familiar with the lake, since he spent some of his childhood at the lake. He finally caved and we invited a few of our friends and headed over to Priest Lake
Health and Wellness in Sandpoint, Idaho
From the chair behind my booth, I had a good view of two kids storming Schweitzer’s climbing tower, a batch of future acrobats taking advantage of the Funtastics tumbling station, and a group of ersatz drunks exhorting each other through the “beer-goggles” course. Sandpoint’s first annual Community Health and Wellness Fair was in full swing, and the turnout looked pretty good.
Picking Huckleberries in the Mountains — Sandpoint, Idaho
They have a certain je ne sais quois that I will either pay $40 a gallon for or walk around a hillside all day in the heat with mosquitoes dive-bombing my head to get.
