Anachronism in North Idaho


Yes, this photo was taken yesterday, in North Idaho.

Yes, it is January.

Yes, it was wonderful to enjoy a day that reached the 50s in nearby Spokane.

No, it was not comfy to be wearing my lined pants while walking through yesterday's January sunshine.

Yes, I was glad I had those pants while sitting in the shade.

Yes, it's amazing that we would see such scenes on January 18, 2010, but we did.

And, we loved it.

We actually went out planting yesterday: a geocache, that is.

And, by the way, I also planted some lettuce with my new grow light.

Our geocache seed sowing took place along the Clark Fork River on a trail laid out by Avista Corp., which supplies a lot of power to this area.

As I write, however, that power is not working throughout Ponderay and all of Sandpoint.

Our Northern Light's supply north of town is doing just fine, thank you.

Anyway, this trail is beautiful, and it now has a geocache hidden and yet to appear on the geocaching site.

So, you'll have to wait for the geocaching gods to approve it. For now, it looks like another nice January day here.

So, if you're hankering for a hike, Avista has provided you a nice one along a beautiful river.

Of course, you'll have to have your power on to read about it.

Happy Tuesday to all.
