northern idaho

idaho was gorgeous. we slipped through a northern piece, which was about 70 miles wide at the most. climbing through the montana hills, we were stunned at the immediate view at the border of idaho; curving down from a high precipice, the gold, orange & green fir trees went far down beyond our view. josh queued up "keep it like a secret" by built to spill to begin right as we passed the state line.



we never knew about lake coeur d'alene. it was absolutely blue, and the blue sky & sharp green branches were breathtaking.



we lunched at an irish pub in spokane, washington where notre dame alumni were cheerily watching the game. the rest of the drive down through eastern washington was pretty boring... bland fields and nothing much else.
