september 16th, day 5 - around coeur d'alene

Friday was the last day of our five day bike camp with the Vernon Outdoors Club in the Coeur D'Alene, Idaho area. We're already looking forward to the next bike camp September 10th to 14th, 2012 in Canmore, Alberta.

Ralph and I-90. Cycling south of Coeur D'Alene along the lake.

More lake and more Ralph.

More lake. What happened to Ralph?

Our group on a break.

Our amazing friend Al celebrated his 80th birthday during the week. He cycles like a 30 year old. (I hope I'm not insulting him by comparing his cycling to a 30 year old.)

View from our lunch stop.

  

Cycling in downtown Coeur D'Alene.

Cycling through the City park downtown.

 

Lots of room on the beach in downtown Coeur D'Alene. It's a beautiful warm sunny day but the lake doesn't look so warm, so no lifeguard needed.

Suck it in Gordo. More Coeur D'Alene. A beautiful location.

Friday afternoon, saying goodbye to Ralph and Lenore. They're heading for Canada and we're off to Montana.

Back in Wallace at an interesting park near our motel.

 

How can you tell Wallace is a mining town? The park is made up of mining equipment.

Monument to the mining families of the area.
