We spent a few days in Coeur D'Alene doing touristy stuff.  We checked out the shops downtown one day.  We also took an interesting 90 minute tour on Lake Coeur D'Alene and looked through a historical museum.    That night we ate at a floating restaurant known as "The Cedars".  It's been there a really long time.  A short few years ago there was a huge storm on the lake.  The owner spent two days on his boat hooked up to his restaurant with the boats engine on just to keep the restaurant from floating away.  We had a huge dinner of prime rib (the best we've ever had), prawns on a skewer and Alaska crab legs.  Good Livin!  Tomorrow we're off to Wildwood Recreation Site in Oregon.
 We are on top of the boat waiting to leave the dock for our lake tour.  The sun was shining so it was hot up there.
 Where the tour ship docked was also an airplane you could take for a 40 mile flight.  It took off and landed before we even left the dock.  So it was a short flight.  But you took off and landed on the water.
 Here is a pretty interesting "cabin" built onto a rock.  The tour had a "canned" presentation and this home wasn't mentioned.  There were lots of huge, very high end homes built around the lake.
This is the renowned floating golf hole.  You tee off from shore then take a small covered shuttle boat to putt out.  It's on cables and can be moved to provide a 75 to 175 yard tee off to hit it from shore.
