Sunday is our day to kick back, and relax, in this Inland Empire of ours. This past Sunday we headed up in the afternoon to pick Huckleberries on Mount Spokane.

We like our little mountain. It's not huge, it's not snow-capped, it's not overbearing or over-dangerous. But it's a holy mountain to us nonetheless. From it's humble 5889 ft peak, we can see the world around us. We can see Steptoe Butte, nearly 100 miles to the south rising out of the rolling hills of the Palouse. We can see the mountains and lakes of North Idaho. We can see Lake Coeur D'Alene, and it's larger and older giant carved brother to the north, Lake Pend Oreille. We can also see all the children of these two lakes. Spirit, Twin, and others. We are truly surrounded by wonderful beauty here.

For all it's problems like the racism and the occasional backward thinking of some of it's residents, this really is one of the nicest spots on the planet.
