Campsite at the state park on the south end of lake pend oreille was great! Ended up staying two nights so we could enjoy a full day in the area on Sunday. We went for a run down to the lake, enjoying some nice views on the lakefront trail. Ended with a cooldown swim at the beach. Back to the trailer and called a nearby resort about boat rentals. In luck with some available for a reasonable half-day rate. Packed up the cooler with sammies, snacks and brews and drove to the resort just a few miles away in Bayview. Cool little town with most of the folks living in floating houses. Friendly owner at the resort, loaded us up and sent us off with some fishing spot recommendations. Trustworthy folks up here, sending us off on his boat with no money down or credit card.

Some luck on casting, catching a smallmouth bass
We really enjoyed the day! Back to the trailer around 7pm, quite tired from exercise in the morning and boating all afternoon. Cooked some dinner, then fell asleep to a movie we’ve seen about 1000 times, “the big lebowski”.
Took advantage of the campground showers and dump station on Monday morning. Drove north into Sandpoint, ID. Much cooler vibe here than coeur d alene. Enjoyed some delicious mexican food and ice cream, then a stroll thru downtown to the beach.

Really enjoyed our time around lake pend oreille! Heading further east this afternoon, likely camping in Montana as we approach Glacier Park.
