A Bonners Ferry Geocaching adventure



We made lemonade out of sour lemon weather yesterday.

It was, as noted in yesterday's post, a gloomy, wet day.

We headed for Bonners Ferry where the weather is always better than Sandpoint's, at least most of the time.

We were amazed that when we hit the weather dividing line at Elmira, it got darker, wetter and whiter.

Gloomy drizzle turned into gloomy snow. Even the expansive Kootenai Valley was white, surrounded by socked-in mountains.

Still, we caught a few dry moments and enjoyed an afternoon of geocaching.

This was our first find on the Meadow Creek Road northeast of Bonners Ferry.

I told Bill I had heard that this old cabin on Dawson Lake was once a teacherage, but I'm not swearing by it.

It was a great adventure for an ugly Sunday. We came home renewed and refreshed.

That's what geocaching and trips to Bonners Ferry usually do for us.

Marianne,
I just found out about you from my sister, who heard from a friend ... We all grew up in Bonners Ferry. I forgot how beautiful it is up there. Thank you so much for the pictures and the narative. It made me quite homesick. I will keep your blog address in my "favorites".
