Lake Coeur d' Alene, Harrison

It was very peaceful in Beauty Bay last night. This morning I was off the mooring ball around 7:45am, and heading for Harrison at the south end of the Lake. Winds were blowing about 15-20kts out of the south, so it got pretty choppy once I turned into the south arm of Lake Coeur d’ Alene. There are many nice homes and marinas along the Lake. One home was on a rock at Arrow Point. I passed Camp Cross, an Episcopal Church Camp. Arrived at Harrison right around noon, and shortly after that, Jim and Marti arrived to meet me. (They drove here.) Harrison has a nice complement of free docks for boaters visiting the city. It is a cool and cloudy day, with rain in the forecast. When I arrived there were only two other boats here. Later this afternoon, many bass boats showed up to weigh in their catch from a fishing tournament. Harrison is a cute, small, community with many bicyclists enjoying a trail through here. Marti has several of her photos displayed and for sale at the Driftwood Mercantile. She takes some fantastic photos of wildlife with her camera and a telephoto lens. We spent some time in the Mercantile visiting the owners (and I purchased some Huckleberry bread and jam,) and then went over to The Cycle Haus Bikes and Brews, where Jim and Marti bought me lunch. Explored the Crane Home museum and then Jim and Marti walked down with me to C-Traveler before heading home. Mike called and we talked about the trip and his and Bill’s final trip back across the Strait of Georgia and experience using CBP Roam app to clear customs back into the USA. I walked back up to get some ice cream at the Harrison Creamery and watched some fisherman weighing their fish in from the tournament. I’ll stay here at the docks this evening, and head back to the boat launch tomorrow to pull the boat back out.Read more
