We left the hotel at 9:00am, traveling southwest through the Missoula Flood scablands. The glaciers left behind loess hills. We saw basalt outcroppings, pillow basalt and pancake columnar.
We stopped at Mary Queen of Heaven Parish (1882). It had two chimneys on one side of the roof and three on the other. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Buildings in 1990.
After a picnic lunch at Riverfront Park in Spokane, we traveled toward Sandpoint, Idaho. We saw Mt. Spokane (5,851 ft.) and the Purcell Mountain Range. We stopped at Post Falls Park, the former location of the Post’s Sawmill. I discovered a Statue of Liberty and three benchmarks (TO1049) in the city park in the City of Sandpoint on a concrete pier that protrudes into Lake Pend Oreille.
