Pend Oreille

Finally during the day late this afternoon were able to cross the long bridge across the Pend Oreille River in Sandpoint. The last time it had been past sun down and not much was able to be seen. Today, even with over cast clouds it was beautiful...the water, bridge, mountains and treeline.

The Pend Oreille River begins at Lake Pend Oreille in Bonner County, Idaho in the Idaho Panhandle, draining the lake from its western end near Sandpoint (The Clark Fork River enters the lake from its eastern end). It flows west, receiving the Priest River from the north at the town of Priest River, then flows into southern Pend Oreille County in northeastern Washington at Newport.

A day venturing into town to check out a few stores, shop and come home with a computer desk for our kids to share for homeschooling. A little lunch out and back home in time for dinner. A lovely afternoon sight seeing and being together.
