Priest Lake

Another weekend at the lake.. it is always enjoyable. And it is beautiful up here.PLUS.. the weather is about 10 degrees cooler, and it cools down wonderfully at night! We have been coming up here so that we could ride our motor cycles without Spokane traffic! So far it has been fun.. haven't seen any wild life.. but then we probably scare them away with the noise of the bikes and 4 wheeler. We have a friend (Dana) and she comes up with her 4 wheeler, but we sure do see a lot of countryside :) We are still trying to get a trail map.. that has the numbers of the trails on it... so when we get lost.. we know HOW lost we are :) But the stores don't seem to have them.. so heading to the Park ranger station today to try to get one. They were closed but went to dinner at Elkin's and the man at the desk gave us an awesome trail map.. not the one we had been wanting but this was as good. And.. by the way the dinner at Elkins was amazing.. it was Filet minion with cognac mushroom sauce.. OMG it was so tender and the flavor was out of this world.. it was so good.. and mashed potato's with shallots.. oh what a dinner.. we all over ate on that one!
On the way up to the lake I bought knee/elbow/wrist protectors..mainly for Mel.. I couldn't find small enough ones for Jax-e.. but I also bought some for me. Still looking for a helmet and goggles for Jax-e :) You know Jax-e has already been in two accidents already! She doesn't need anymore accidents on her record! :)
SO!! We get this idea that we will ride up to the Look out tower on Sundance Mountain..Wow forgot to post this.. BUT we did ride up the mountain.. it was a LONG way up.. seemed even longer going down. I rode with Dana on the 4 wheeler. but it was great. I keep thinking I will get photos posted.. BUT this is a mac and I still have to figure out the how to go from the photos.. to the blog.
Meantime.. been very busy packing and getting ready to leave. sat we take off for Seattle spend a couple days.. have a dinner with my son and his girlfriend and then.... off to London.. from London to Paris...
If nothing else.. I will write some when we get over there..
Everyone take care.. Keri
