Spokane's River Walk provided the setting for todays entertainment and exercise. In addition to a nice 3 mile walk we got some sun (warn not hot), were entertained by the ducks on the river, and marveled at the competitiveness of young children as they raced stroller-bikes around a temporary track in the park beside the river. For those of you (like us) that do not know what stroller bikes are - they are bicycles without pedals that are propelled by pushing ones feet against the ground.

Spokane also gave us an opportunity to collect some provisions and complete other chores. It was a reminder that that " doing stuff" can eat up a lot of time.

Camping

Just east of Coeur D'Alene we turned south onto Hwy 97 to a little creekside camping spot called Beauty Creek. We were surprised to find a number of vacant sites. We thought that on a Saturday night, in summer, near a lake all camp sites would be taken. Price $10 for seniors.
