Cabin Adventures

Tuesday and Wednesday brought cooler weather again to the inland Northwest. D-man and Marshall headed to Pullman in Tuesday morning (Marshall to work and D-man to golf). D-man also ran some errands, walked around the WSU campus and grabbed ice cream at the creamery. They also watched their recorded F1 race thanks to WiFi access. 

T-man, Claudia and I busied ourselves around the cabin playing games, reading and relaxing. Claudia and I enjoyed a 3.5 mile walk and T-man swam across the bay. We all enjoyed an afternoon hot tub before dinner and wrapped up the evening with more games. 

While Wednesday had promised warmer weather, we didn’t really get it. I read a ton of my book in the morning and D-man said it would be a good day for the bike ride- how right he was!

Claudia was kind enough to take us to the trailhead of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alene in Plummer vía car and pick us up in Harrison via boat. It was a 16-mile trek down through The Valley and around the East part of the lake. We stopped at Heyburn State Park to eat our lunch from Zip’s. We took our time on our journey with no timetable to adhere to. We got to Harrison and grabbed ice cream while we waited for Claudia to arrive. It was the perfect afternoon outing for a cooler day. 

Even then, the boys decided to take the paddle board up the lake and also get into the lake with wet suits - because why not? The hot tub is certainly getting more of a work out than normal with these cooler temps. 


Cousin tubing!
