On the way around Syringa lake we got to see some Bighon sheep,

and we visited Tulip falls before we moved back to Idaho.

We camped at round lake which turned out to be a small pond and we did not even put the canoe in the water. the next day we moved up to Priest lake to do some paddling.

We went for a nice paddle and as we headed back we noticed some thunder stormes were moving in. We hurried back and got the canoe on the truck and felt glasd we made it in before we got wet. but we were mistaken. the storm knocked down trees all along the small road around the lake and we were stranded. lucky a man came along from a excavating company in a dump truck and he had a chain saw. So we started a caravan of about 5 vehicles he did the sawing and we all pulled the trees from the road. we had to cut about 25 to 30 trees from the road over about 5 miles. We finally met up with an ambulance coming the other way. they had a forrestry truck ahead of them cutting trees from the road so the could reach some injured people.so the rest of the way back was clear for us. what an adventure.
