A lesson in phonics ... North Idaho - Legendary Lake Country

North Idaho does it again!  This time making "Sunset" magazine's list of wonderful places to live and visit!

Caroline Patterson starts her article by saying, "Plan an escape to northern Idaho, where the lakes are deep and blue, and each one has a story..."

From there she goes on to detail the wonderful things about this region that, those of us who are lucky enough to call it home, already know.

For those that don't live here, but hope to visit some day, the names of our towns and lakes have a heavy French influence.  For your better knowledge, note the following pronunciations:

Hover over images to use our helping tool!

Coeur d'Alene = Core duh Lane

Apple "CORE""Oh! DUH, I get it!"          A Bowling LANE

Pend Oreille = Pond Errrr A
Not a lake, but a "POND"   "Who yields to who?  ERRR, I don't know."   Self explanatory!

Priest Lake
(If you're able to read this, I don't think you'll need my help on this one.  But, you never know!)

Father Pat is a Catholic PRIEST   Not a pond, but a LAKE!

And, note!
The photo above of the "lake" is just not any lake!  It is actually PRIEST LAKE in north Idaho.  One of my family's favorite camping destinations!

I hope you enjoy the article as much as I did!

Best regards to you and your family!
