North Idaho Memories: A photo from the past
"This picture was taken back in 1977 up at Mount Coeur d’Alene at the viewing area and drinking fountain. The last time I was up there, the view has overgrown, and not sure if the drinking fountain still worked. In the picture, left to right, are our daughters, Lorinda (Peak) Sheppard, born raised here in Coeur d’Alene, and Melissa (Peak) Matis, who has lived here since 1973. We had taken the trip up to Mount Coeur d’Alene for the scenic view and a picnic.
I have lived here since 1973 as well." — Steven Peak, Coeur d'Alene
