Flood damage closes part of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's

Man, you'd think we would be past all of this flooding by now, but I guess there is no use in complaining. At least this Father's Day weekend looks like it'll be a good one, but if you were planning to get dad out on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's don't expect to get too far. According to the Spokesman Review this morning, last month's floods washed out a 170-foot section of trail and eroded portions of the bank. About 18 miles of the trail remain closed between the Harrison and Bull Run trailheads. You can read veteran reporter Becky Kramer's story here.
