Coeur d'Alene newsroom colleague Alison Boggs got caught up in the moment after the Hangover Handicap run earlier New Year's Day morning and decided to take her first plunge -- Polar Bear Plunge that is, off Sanders Beach into the chilly waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene with hundreds of her closest friends. Alison reports the crowd gathered on Sanders Beach was ha-huge. Participants and spectators were welcomed by finicky East Lakeshore Drive residents who post no-trespassing signs the rest of the year.
