North Idaho Pontoon Boat

 (The Spokesman-Review)
(The Spokesman-Review)

CoeurGenX snapped this photo of an improvised pontoon boat on Lake Coeur d'Alene during the Fourth of July weekend. If you look closely, you'll see that the camp trailer is sitting on its wheels and the tongue of the trailer is sticking out, for easy handling in launching and pulling the "vessel" out of the water. In the background, you'll see the Coeur d'Alene Resort. But for some reason I don't think you'll see this photo in a resort brochure any time soon.

  • More: KerriT spotted this before launch earlier this month. She tells about it her blog here.
