"In 'The Treasure Called Tubbs Hill,' Coeur d'Alene's resident environmental gadfly, Scott Reed, recalls how 'the past came forward to rescue the present.' From geologic forces through political intrigues, economic convolutions to the unlikeliest turns of good luck, Reed lays a track through the machinations that have led to the preservation of this green blessing that now belongs to all. It's a trail every reader will follow with fascination" -- George Ives, retired NIC professor & Tubbs Hill Foundation member.

DFO: The Coeur d'Alene office of the SR has just received a copy of Scott Reed's book, "The Treasure Called Tubbs Hill." I grabbed it before Erica could get her hands on it. I've long felt that the history behind this community treasure should be compiled in one place. I'm indebted to Scott for doing just that. Can't wait to read it.

Question: When is the last time you hiked Tubbs Hill.
