No I’m on the river about 10 mi west of Sandpoint. There’s a guy on RDP that was building up near your place but I don’t know him.

Wow, I cant even quote your post until I have 10 of my own 😂
Oh yes, most people on the lake are clueless about how far you can run down the river and all the beautiful little lakes you can get into from the Cd'a river. Definitely the intent of the run is to introduce people to that. Wish I could post pictures or videos, but as a kid we would run the Cd'a or St. Joe every fall after the leaves changed and started falling, its a stunning view running wide open on a glass smooth surface will all the leaves floating. We did the run this last fall, had a great time. There is even some wild cranberry bogs to pick from is you know where to look. The St. Joe in particular is a little intimidating to navigate, but its plenty deep (at least at standard lake levels). Kind of like flying a fighter plane rolling through the canals there. Once the word got out you’d have to get them to make arrangements to accommodate the crowd. |

AH! That's who I'm thinking of. Curious as to how things are going with that big 'ol project.
That would be the Idaho Club. It’s on the Pack River delta just across the mountain from your place. Top notch from what I see. The thing about North Idaho is the limited amount of level ground. When the demand spikes it creates a temporary frenzy. I’ve seen two crazy spikes since I’ve been coming up here. I sold into one but ended up buying back high so didn’t really gain much. |
"Do a Post Falls to Rockford Bay lunch run at Shooters then go from there.
Once the word got out you’d have to get them to make arrangements to accommodate the crowd." Thank for the input. I worry about running a bunch of boats up the Spokane river during the busy season, so we would probably have to kick off a little earlier than most runs to avoid traffic if it was a full blown fun run. Maybe Shooters would be interested in a brunch crowd, or go to Harrison. Tons of docking there. But Q'emiln park is a great launch to start from with lots of parking and fuel available so I like that start. I think this year would just be an informal thing, get a few people together and run the course, see what people think. |
I’m sure any get together that includes a brisk run down the lake and good food & drinks would be fun.

Anyone Heading to the St. Joe jetboat races this weekend? We are onboard as one of the safety boats, should be a good time.
Went out and did some testing today, I had to pull the motor last week after my Barnes dry sump pump locked a couple weeks ago (just do a health check on the bottom end, make sure no more debris where gonna make their way into the new pump). Water is way up, lake is absolutely loaded with debris. Real minefield out there, happy to have an aluminum boat. Got about half an hour of testing in before the storm kicked up and got to wick it back to dock. Whitecaps and log dodging at 60 mph makes for and interesting run back. Boat was running great though, cleared up a couple longstanding issues while the motor was out. |

Looks like nice weather for it as long as you stay dry, I think the water temps are mid 40’s. I’d go but I’m out of town till the end of the month. Only time I’ve seen roll cages in boats. “Kid Turbo” here on this site has a customer in southern idaho with a duramax jet boat but I don’t think there are any North Idaho locals on this site. There are several on river Dave’s place you might check with. We were out on the lake last Saturday and it was clean except at the cda river mouth. I’m on the pend o rielle river and yeah the warm weather has a lot of snow melt bringing the levels up quickly. |
War rig ready to head out to the Jetboat races tomorrow, looks like a great weekend to be on the water.
