That's just a stunning photograph. I am familiar with the area, but the truth is I tend to gravitate to Lake Superior when I'm between the two. It is truly a beautiful area.
If a Kilo of sand is going to be worth more than a Bugatti then I vacuumed up about a Chevrolet's worth this morning. :)
Who knew? Arizona is going to be the richest place on the planet and so hot that nobody will be able to live here...
Lol, you might wanna keep the sand. The lakes are fantastic and I wished I could be there one day again.
There has been some effort (mostly from the Chamber of Commerce) to get the big lakes in North Idaho included as 'Great Lakes'. They really are big glacial gouges, but I don't think you can be out of sight of shore on any of the three. Which happens early on a couple of the Great Lakes.
Yah if you get dropped on one of the Greats and you don't know it you can mistake them for a sea. They don't feel like lakes. When I visited Lake Garda in Italy people wondered why I wasn't impressed. I mean I love it, would move there in a heartbeat but once you felt a Great Lake everything else feels little 😄. Lake Garda is still a very spiritual place for me but for other reasons than the size lol.
I know the big lakes in Idaho way better. Intimately :) I know the rivers that feed them, and have traipsed all over around them. I love them and have considered living nearby several times.
I probably prefer Coeur d'Alene but only because my favorite river on earth feeds it. The St. Joe. I hope one of my nephews will tote my ashes to Prospector Creek where it runs into the St. Joe. That's how much that place means to me.
It is nice to have a place like that. Do you live in that area?
I used to. I've lived in Arizona the last 20 years. I'll go take another look in a couple of months when I'm up there visiting.
Great, take some pics, I would like to see your favorite place :).
