things to do in north idaho: Bio-Luminesce Fire Dancers perform at Pend d'Oreille Winery for Sandpoint Winter Carnival: Sandpoint Blog
- 01/14/11 03:39 PM
The Bio-Luminesce Firedancers have performed for the last five years at the Sandpoint Winter Carnival. They have always performed in the courtyard at Pend d'Oreille Winery. However, in the last two years they have attracted a crowd upwards of 200 people, so this year, the street was closed off. I was there tonight, and though I estimate there weren't more people this year, there were as many as previous years, and we all had a better view and more room. The winery was packed, the rain held off, and it was a good time had by all. Here is a cool … (1 comments)

things to do in north idaho: Love is like a snowflake-I think I'll hike the Roman Nose: Gary Lirette
- 11/21/10 04:01 AM
The Roman Nose-Naples, Idaho in winter Snowflakes I awaken thinking of you. The world outside is cold; winter has made its entrance through two wide doors, the world overwhelmed by its majesty. Snow has fallen, and soon our lives will be blanketed with a cover of white. It is a time for snugs and hugs, fires and carols. Anticipation baits the breaths of skier and snowboarders, ice skaters and fishermen. Almost time. Almost... My thoughts go to walking the Alpine Lakes of the Roman Nose in Naples. I imagine walking with you, hand in hand, frost vaporizing from our short-of-breath open … (2 comments)

things to do in north idaho: Eagles of North Idaho - Awe inspiring, and a reminder of our National Heritage
- 01/23/09 11:45 AM
Before I start, let me give you the inspiration for this article. As I drove in to work the two odd miles over the Long Bridge that crosses gigantic Lake Pend Oreille, I was graced by not one, but two eagles in flight. A juvenile, not yet crested with the white crown so distintive to the breed, flew on the lake side of the bridge. On the river side a young bald eagle, this one with the familiar white headed plumes, soared on hard blowing winds with a wing-span of almost five feet. This is a common occurrence, and virtually every … (0 comments)
