Sandpoint's Dog Beach soon to be underwater

Hello Hannah Williams ,  The down river damns drain off the Lake 10 to 12 feet every fall in preparation of the winter and spring runoff.  I am going to make a point of getting some stats this year.  Lake Pend Oreille is the largest lake in Idaho.  Can you imagine the volumn of 10 to 12 feet depth? not shoreline!  I am sure the numbers will be staggering.  Thank you for stopping by.  I trust you enjoyed your Awards and personal favorites did well.  Believe it or not I still have not even seen who or what won.  Mark

Hello Endre,  I know you could.  Sounds as though the Sierra's have at least been getting some snow this year.  Mark

She has come a long ways Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 .  These are the tracks than a few short months after having here she was chasing birds.  They were low flying and turned.  I did not realize till too late she was on the tracks and not knowing which way to go with the train bearing down on her.  Honking its horn was doing more harm than good.  Too far away all I could do was watch.  So close did the train come that I lost sight of her to the front of the engine.  I had to make that same walk I made today fearing the worst for what I would find.  We met at the trestle and like any good parent so ascared was I that I scolded her.  What an ass.  She took only a few stitches in her front leg.  Only she will know what happened but I believe as she jumped at the last minute the front end brused her and threw her off balance.  Needless to say I need not worry about her being on train tracks anymore.  For months she would crawl to the front seat, and hide on the passenger floor if an RV was behind us.  Needless to say even a Semi passing on the street while walking would have her cower.  No longer.  Hell of a spirited gal.

This is only seasonal Sheila and the beach is still there during summer months along with shallow waters for our furry friends to enjoy.  Mark
