Top Post: Just moments ago, I witnessed a two story float home on A dock at Scenic Bay Marina. It was half underwater with the snow load. When the snow turns to rain or freezing rain as forecast, we are going to see several homes start to sink. The massive home owned by Eric Musson on A dock was starting to sink when it was caught. The owner, out of the area, was unable to help, but Friend, Mark Streater, saved the day, raking the snow off.It is going to get worse before it gets better. I couldn't get a picture, because I didn't have my camera with me and I'm snowbound and on foot/Bay Views. More here.

That’s a shame. The buoyant house was very pretty and I often wondered if it, for whatever reason, would submerge into Lake Pend Oreille.
Shout out to The Captain’s Wheel!

It’s a beautiful area, as I have visited Herb a few times because he offered me free sticks. I had never been there before till my first visit to see him, maybe two years ago. I was impressed by the beauty of the whole area, and the history, which I am still reading about.
