Tripping with MikenJudy 2012: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

We drove to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (on Idaho’s panhandle) and went to Capone’s for pizza. We’ve been here before and as usual it was VERY crowded when we arrived (because of a football game). The pizza was still good, as we remembered it. Yum! Thanks Guy Fieri! When we left Naples this morning it was 46° and here in Coeur d’Alene it got to 80°. What a difference. We even turned the a/c on in the truck this afternoon.

Mike brought the truck in early this morning for an oil change and tire rotation. As we did the last time we visited here, we went to Hudson’s for hamburgers. The line wasn’t too long and it was worth the wait. They only serve hamburgers, double hamburgers, cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers and pie. The only additions to the sandwiches are sliced dill pickles, raw sliced onion, catsup, spicy catsup and/or mustard. They’ve been doing this for 60 years and are still doing well. There is only one counter, one waitress, and one cook.

After enjoying our lunch we walked the street checking out the stores. Then down to the lake, pretty park and the boat dock. Our next stop was driving to the Coeur d’Alene Golf Course and Spa, which has a gorgeous setting by the lake, and a unique 14^th hole, which is the world’s first moveable, floating green. We watched golfers ferried to the island, which is placed 100-175 yards from the shore to complete their play. The island is moved to one of seven different locations each day.
