Dave and I went to Sandpoint Idaho for the wooden boat fest last week-end. It was great weather and really fun. Dave has been researching wooden boats for a while now and would love to someday build his own. We talked with a guy named Mark from Sandpoint who had built his own boat. It took him about 5 months, full time. As we were visiting with him he asked us if we wanted to ride with him in the "parade". I of course had to have him twist my arm. Instead of standing on the bridge waving to the boats as they go by, we were in the boat waving to the people on the bridges. After we did the parade around the bay, some of the boats went out into the main part of the lake and really opened it up! Dave and I got soaked sitting in the back seat, but it was a hot day and it felt great!!
Our camp spot was pretty cool too. We stayed at Garfield Bay, about 14 miles outside of Sandpoint. It was a wooded area and campfires were allowed. So we built a nice fire and sat out and enjoyed the quiet of the woods and the beauty of the stars. They look so different when you get away from the big city. It was just great to have a week-end to relax and enjoy life.
