Love seeing my country through your eyes, Marie, your enthusiasm and joy is contagious! I'm proud of my fellow citizens for taking such good care of you. Another fantastic video!
Shoutout to Steven for being nice to our Marie! 😂 The lake looked so beautiful with the tree-covered hills all around! Can't wait to see more wilderness next week!
I was raised in flat, treeless middle America. I moved to Portland when I was 18 and was constantly in awe of the scenery. That part of the country has spectacular scenery.
Growing up in a flat part of the country, "flat" = "normal." It would no more occur to me to look at the landscape and say "so flat" than to walk into a big room and remark that the floor was "so flat."
Yeah to me you really have to be closer to the coast to be "PNW". The further you get from real cities like Seattle or Portland, the more likely you are to encounter people who think we did not evolve from lower forms of life lol. Coastal PNW is awesome. Have you tried riding the Coast Starlight Train from Seattle to Los Angeles? I have only ridden it from Seattle to San Jose; it was my "ride home" from the Navy in 2003 when I got my honorable discharge. The Yeoman First Class said the Navy would pay no matter how expensive, so I got a sleeper train on the Coast Starlight. It takes 24 hours to get to San Jose, so obviously, your normal form of travel between those places is going to be jet aircraft (even HSR would still take twice as long as the jet), but you know, if you have the vacation time for it to take 24 hours, it's an amazing ride. Food is included, and you can hang out in a viewing car that has huge windows. 🙂 Go all the way to Los Angeles I think would take about 36 hours total. Then there's another train that goes down to San Diego, although it's down right now for repairs. They built it literally right on the coast back in the 1800s....made sense at the time, but there's been a lot of beach erosion due to climate change. They plan to eventually move about 10 miles of it inland, which sucks because you lose the view, but it will mean it almost never has to be closed down, and it might be a faster ride, too. 🙂
If your still there your probably homeless. What's left of that place? I'm from Seattle area it's getting bad around here tho the hills and trees are nice.
You shoulda went over th pass from sisters to Eugene, you go from high desert to true rainforest, triple canopy and over a 100” of rain a year, in a few miles. I finished growing up further southwest. Small area close to the coast, still true rainforest. Gargantuan trees that weren’t logged yet, insane old growth. I grew up around cedar trees bigger than most trees on earth. Haha. Found old, dead sequoias way up in the woods, miles in on foot, after hours of driving in old logging roads, at lower speeds. Fallen trees that were 300-400 feet tall, trunks 12-20 foot in diameter. And living trees 2-300 feet tall, and some extra, huge trunks. Random apple, pear and fig orchards in the deep woods. Water in every valley or draw. Wildlife everywhere, berries and mushrooms, plants, food all over. Now the downside, wet, almost always wet and cold, or cool. If not those things, then it’s wet, and hot. Humid. The worst of summer have seen 130 F and 100 percent humidity in the deep valleys, no wind, or high humidity. Cold. Fog. Freezing rain, snow, sleet, wind, 20-30 mph sustained or a bit more, gusts up to 120 mph plus recorded in the major valleys. We had trees snap like twigs and be blown tens of yards without touching the ground, basically tens of meters for the silly metric folk. A meter is 1/4 more a foot compared to a yards, yard is 36” meter is 39” and a little change.
I’ve been trying to convince my wife for years that we should move to Idaho!! It’s so beautiful!! Every time I travel there for business or to see friends I never want to leave!!
@@tcanfieldIt gets hot everywhere in US unless you're high elevation or coast. I have lived all over the US. Grew up in humid south so I prefer the heat here.
Your beautiful smile is welcome anywhere.. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Safe travels and looking forward to many more videos of your adventure..God Bless.
Bonjour Marie, glad to hear your flights to the Northwest went smoothly. That area is very beautiful, and you've captured it perfectly so far. It's funny that your first tour guide was named Gary Cooper. There was a famous American actor named Gary Cooper (RIP) who was born just to the east in Helena, Montana. He was born in Lewis and Clark County. I'm glad your entry into Canada was better this time. The border guards are just doing their jobs. I imagine as soon as they see your face they trust you. I know I would.
Marie, did they tell you WHY the lake was named, "Lake Pend Oreille"? I'm sure you can guess. 😃 I started out life not far from there and you were driving through the Selkirk Mountain Range. Many years ago, my family made their living logging in those mountains. I'm glad you had a great experience and I'm happy that you keep Dramamine with you now! No need to feel sick anymore! 😃 Thanks for sharing your experience. It's too bad you didn't have more time in that area because there's a LOT of stuff you missed that you really would have enjoyed. Maybe next time.
Hi Marie!! 🥰 Your title for this was intriguing, and then you begin with a visual blast to the senses of the almost surreal beauty of those red flowers😍! Then a fast barage of a seaplane, kayakers everywhere, and next a glimpse of Marie's most pleasant countenance and smile 🤗☺, followed with a plane's eye view of fields and lakes, green and yellow trees, mountains a flowing river, paddleboards, beach fun, a bus, cool looking frontier log buildings and cannon, a merry-go-round, family name plaques, playground and basketball, Canadian flag, Root Beer Dum Dums and a pretty gold tumb nail, lake ferry boat, paraglider above a boat, pretty hills, a speedboat, horses, and campfire 😇😉 - what a foreshadowing of amazing sights to come from your tour !❤ Your music enhanced it all Marie! "Good morning everyone" with that lovely Lewis & Clark mug, your desk and materials at 7:43 in the morning, as you tell us "I have a little bit of time before heading to the bus to go to the airport and fly to Spokane so I'll be editing my Canadian video"!❤ Oh Marie, if I could be as efficient as you are (if only, lol 🤣) 🙏😇!!! I really love your "It's time to believe in miracles" shirt 🤗 , and that subtle "thanks Rey", lol! Then we briefly see Marie the "Speed Typist/Editor" and ready to leave at 10:52 am, whew!! That was a cool scenic ride on the bus to the airport with shops direction signs to Lewis & Clark Sites, etc., and then board your STL to DEN 2-hour flight (Love your use of rotating letters to show the airport agenda 💕)! And Marie, I am loving ALL your music choices here, and especially the tune a you take off!! The geometric patchwork scenery below the plane was cool, and YES, SO FLAT, is Right!! Denver at 3:21, the Southwest Airlines DEN to GEG for 2 hours and 30 minutes (Nice clock you used there too 😉. Finally, Welcome to Spokane (with the unusual metal sculptures above), HOOPTOWN! That was an interesting 737 Carbon Brake there! I like the US flag by Camping World, on the way now to Coeur D'Aene (as I mentioned, my brother's home for a few years), with some nice scenery for "My first glimpses of the Northwest States!" Those are such pretty trees, mountains, grassy fields, and that wall artwork of boats on water, and a cool black sports car (a "Vette"??). The city greets you with its beautiful lake and tree covered hills, complemented by the lovely sunset 🌇. I love what you said Marie, "I sat by the fire at the hotel for a fe w hours and let this grateful feeling sink in deeply!" What a lovely time, and how fitting for the sweet young lady I know named Marie 🥰, whom I know has an especially grateful heart! ❤😇🙏 I love that contemplation of kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, caring, and God's simple love, as you do Marie ❤☺🙏 Now a "hello everyone" at 6:55 am in pretty green (yes it is a strange city name to pronounce in English 🤣. You had been having a blast and now on to the Coeur D'Alene tour and lake cruise, and on to Canada that night (AH, such a tell-tale lovely Marie smile with closed eyes thinking about it all 🥰). You said it felt like a dream or another person's life, but you deserved every second Marie!! The people were nice to you again, but you may begin to notice they always are, mostly because of how precious and kind and sweet they realize you are Marie 😉😇🥰. 34 C is warm for your day, and I am glad Caleb set it up for you to get to TSA earlier than others!! The 9:38 tour with Gary Cooper began with Sherman finding the town, and the lovely golf course there, especially with the floating 14th hole island (my brother showed me that one- WOW), where a boat takes you out and back, lol!! The whole course is so beautiful among the trees and mountains in the background, and we then see the lovely red flowers and a flock of white/black birds 🤗. There was that $15,000,000 home, and YES, you're right, it is such a gorgeous lake area (wish I could have visited while my brother still lived there). I love that Fort Sherman, Idaho, 1878, with the cool log buildings and cannon, the eagle sign, and the wonderful North Idaho College honoring of veterans at the Veterans Memorial (Vets of Schitsu' Umsh). I do remember your sharing that with us last year from DC, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and those are great pictures of the 1907 Civil War Monument, the Mount Suragace, the honoring the dogs of War, and Ha Ha Ha, the crescent moon Out House 😂😂!! You found Iwo Jima 1945, the City Park of 1904 (so pretty Marie), that amazing Historic Carousel, Playland Pier -- WOW!!!!! That is amazing - hand carved in 1922 fron Tonawanda, N.Y. I love more family name plaques we see in addition to the Reagan Family and the McFarland we saw earlier, with the Schroeders, the Krotech and Retzler and Jones families. The details in that hand carved marvel are stunning 🤗🤗. I so love that you had time to wander alone around the city "far away, actually, I mean far away, by foot" !!! What fun!!! I agree, your fun spontaneity is just wonderful and allows you discover for yourself many detailed things!! You said you really enjoyed that (I really LOVE that for you ❤❤), as you saw downtown, shops, colorful flowers everywhere, the Garment District, the Eagle sign by those red flowers 🌹, the sea plane landing, that Big black dog (cute), the amazing mountain/lake setting as a whole (no wonder Sherman loved it there), that cool high clock, paddle boats and kayaks, the tour boat, the parachute glider behind his boat, and Ha Ha, that great Moose Statue 😂. OH NO!!! Nausea as the cruise boat tour began (thank goodness you had your Dramamine with you, as Mom always did ☺), and what pretty scenery greeted you, the sail boat, balloon rider, and Marie is invited to the Captain's Cabin, with lots of questions about France 😉. I love the picture of your smiling face in the Cabin 🥰. You had great fun seeing the GPS, how to drive the boat, the million dollar homes, the amazing views, that LOOOONG stairway from the house to the water, the House on the Rock (WOW 😲). And finally back on the bus to Canada at 4:56, to Canbrook, BC, with the landscapes and Lake Pend Oreille (148 square miles), the 5:28 stop at Sandpoint City Beach Park for restrooms, lots of boats, and then . . . the border crossing as the only French on the bus 😵! Naturally, they came aboard and called Marie to come out to be questioned (thank goodness you are good at that by then, lol!!), and he gave you the trick question you handled so beautifully about your Canadian visits last year and this - YAY MARIE ❣ That was funny that Steven asked you if you tried Poutine 🤣🤣(close to my name StevenS, 😂😇)!! Then he suggested the window seat to you! I'm glad you also saw Elk, and how pretty as that sun began to set Marie. Now you are to August 3 at 8:23 am for Fort Steele and the Waterton Lakes National Park! Wow, Marie, what a trip so far, and thank you so very much for taking us with you on another enchanting ride with our gracious hostess 🥰🤗 (P.S. I love "A Beauty" Mustang as the picture of the day 😍). Your work was fantastically FrenchTastic and unbeatable as usual 💕. I am so looking forward to your next Northwest Adventures video next Saturday, and I am also so wishing the best for my sweet friend, so please be safe, take care, and enjoy your week Marie 🥰🥰🤗🙏❣
I live in the Coeur D Alene area. The name of the city, as well as Pend O Rielle lake were named by French fir trappers. We're told Coeur D Alene means "heart of an awl" or something similar as it's the name the fir trappers gave the local tribe for their harsh trading practices. It's cool to see you in a more unknown area that has history for both France and the US
I'm so glad you are getting to see so much of the USA. It's a very diverse and beautiful country. I've been to 49 of the 50 states. I'll see you one day North Dakota! I've probably seen more of America than most Americans ever will in their lifetime. Everywhere I go, people are generally very nice and welcoming. Particularly in small to mid sized towns where the pace is a little slower. Be safe, and enjoy your trip.
Hi Marie......your such an inspiration to anyone that dreams of traveling to just do it. The memories you will carry with you will be something im sure you will often look back on with such joy but i hope also tremendous pride that you did what made your heart happy. Safe travels my frenchtastic friend and ill see you in your next video. ✌❤ from fla usa
Marie! I just caught myself smiling throughout the video, which seems to be an inescapable result of watching one of your videos. Just so you know, I actually enjoy segments you record of your traveling in a car or a plane, not just segments of the actual destinations. It's so much fun, like I'm on the trip with you. I also enjoy when you record yourself early in the morning, before you've put yourself together, hair a little mussed, as you whisper that it's morning and you haven't left yet for where you're going. The images you take are always so nice and bright and clear. Shots of animals you encounter or people doing things like playing basketball or just relaxing on a beach...it's all so much like a real day, not just one destination followed by another destination. I wasn't going to directly say this, but I saw another commenter in a recent video echo my sentiment, so here's my sentiment: you're adorable. By the way, that floating green at the golf course and the "House on a Rock" were really neat! I sent the link to the video to my brother because he's a golf pro...don't know if he's ever seen that green. You made me want to play at that course. I used to caddy when I was a kid. I can't tell you how many golfers I've had to caddy for who became irate (swear words and all) every time they'd hit a ball in the water. I imagine that green probably has a million balls sitting in the bottom of the lake underwater around that green! No Mustangs in this one, but I think I'll live! :)
Hello Miss Marie !!! As always I hope you had a wonderful time here in the USA !!! The like button has been Illuminated 😊 I hope you had a Frenchtastic Halloween 😮
Awesome Lois & Clark mug!!! Envious! Must be ALOT of golf balls in the water in front of that floating hole (14?)… nice to see people still enjoying the Marie-Go-Round or carousel I guess they call it. Great video! You’ve flown a helicopter and now you’re driving a boat. Can’t wait to see what you get up to next! :0) 🐺
In 1973, I went to the Boy Scout Jamboree, a week-long campout of about 15000 Boy Scouts from around the US in Couer d'Alene. Our trip started like yours flying into Spokane. I don't think we even went into the terminal. I remember going directly from the plane to the bus, and we were out of the state of Washington in about an hour.
Like the mug. Finally saw an Elk! Beautful scenery. Gorgeous Lakes. That was Kansas below you and it is flat from the air, a little less so on the ground. Glad to hear the border crossing was smoother. You really get some great shots on your videos!!🙂🙂Can't wait to see Waterton.
There is a movie about the area of Coeur d'Alene called Smoke Signals. It is a comedy/drama about the native tribe in the area. You should try to find a copy of it and give it a view! When i was in high school, we had a choir tour up through Canada and then to the Pacific Northwest. We also got stopped at the border but at that time Americans didnt need a passport to get into Canada. But we had a lot of exchange students in our choir and they all got detained for a while until Border security was able to figure thinga out. The Americans were all left on the bus and given cookies!
Lovely video Marie. Idaho and Montana is some of the most beautiful scenery in the US. It's an easy place to fall in love with, but has become prohibitively expensive. Looking forward to the rest of your trip.
I love the scenery in Coeur D'Alene and most all of Idaho and being from Seattle I love the water and mountains. I played the golf course you showed many years ago and it is beautiful and one thing they did is the only course I've ever heard of them doing. They would follow the mowers with some sort of vacuums and so there were no grass clippings on the course! Anyway, so happy you are having such a great trip, it's quite the life you are living Marie!
Woah!! A new adventure , living the dream out west Marie 🤠 🏞️🦌 Spokane (spoh-kan ) looks absolutely delightful & engaging as city's go , an urban oasis with so many attractions & a amazing roaring falls , lovely shots of the blooms (Lilacs ) 🏵️ I'll highly recommend walking along garden springs creek. It's hard to imagine the riverfront was once a railyard & now is it's pride of place. I've heard they have quite a collection of restored 🛩️ there & some perfect trails up to the awe inspiring rocks of Sharon & ones that resemble a bowl & pitcher & now just right for taking a trip around the fresh farm's of green bluff , I also like how you can have fun with water sports & kayak through the city to. It was well worth visiting FF. Idaho's has some beautiful scenery with it's diverse landscapes & curious ruins (bee hives like) & isn't there somewhere that's like Ireland , it really is the gem state in more ways than one , your surely in your element with those spendid views of the lakes , maybe you'll try your hand along the fairway ⛳ someday , I wonder if anyone's been successful at hitting a tee over to that Island. We'll probably wouldn't mind living along there if the home's weren't so pricey , they do have that amazing light show they say is the largest in the country. None of your trips would be complete without paying respect to all the veterans , it's interesting that the statue's are near where so much history happened , it's touching they included the courage of our faithful 🐕 companion to. Always appreciate of anything hand crafted like a 🎠 coursel , your never to old to take a ride , I like how all the features of the state were shown. Hey it's terrific you'll got to go up front on a boat , it doesn't have to be boring , maybe the captain had a few stories to tell or give you some tips , I used to have a neighbor I babysit for that had a boat , they also had a cool golden Pontiac Firebird 🦅 that was all the range back then. Crossing the border thanking you did get lucky with Steve , I dunno why they have to pick you out just because your french but it turned out okay kinda complementary. Looking forward to what wonders of Canada await you next , your always inspiring that anybody that believes in themselves can seize the opportunitys that comes our way & enrich our lives. Thanks Marie , I've found quite a few Mustang gifts I'm sure your like to have for your birthday , I'll send a donation during the week & a card for your special day , hopefully the stormy weather over by now , happy & peaceful Sunday , aur voir 🧑 💕✨✌️
I've lived in Coeur d'Alene for around a decade, but so many people are moving here nowadays everything is getting so expensive. I don't blame them though, it's a great place to live 😅
I moved from Texas to Idaho 25 yrs. ago. I found a small town (Pop: 275) in the mountains 60 mi. N. of Boise on a whitewater river system. We have no city/town police dept., just a county Sheriff's Dept. & 10 Deputies. People up here just look out for each other. Be careful around elk as they are in "rut" from Aug. into early Nov. It makes the bulls aggressive. I hope that you see plenty of wildlife.
The North West is beautiful, if you like the outdoors you'll never be bored there ! You might look into Reliefband, wear it like a watch, supposed to help with motion sickness/nausea. Friend says it works🙂, have fun!
Thanks for this. I grew up a few hours away from this area. Couer D'Alene and Sandpoint were the summer vacations for our family. 25 years ago, it was an affordable getaway for a middle-class family looking to have a fun weekend. Not sure if it's still the same.
You didn't really get to see much of Spokane? I grew up there. And have. Been to all the places you went to? I'm so glad you're enjoying seeing the beautiful scenery.
Bonjour Marie! Very scenic views in the Northwest and Coeur D'Alene looks quite lovely, too bad it's in Idaho (lol, just kidding.) Glad that you didn't have too much trouble at the border with those pesky Canucks (lol, just kidding, again.) Hope you and your family are all doing very well today! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed
I will not take my wife to Couer d Arlene, Idaho. I wanted to move there in the early 80's. She said no way. So I told her I would never take her there. That way she doesn't know what she missed. It's just beautiful. Now I couldn't afford it. Enjoyed your video. I have been on some of the route you took to Canada. We took a big motorcycle trip out that way. From Indiana all the way to the Pacific Ocean. That was a great trip.
I'm so happy you are getting to see so many different areas of the US. I live very near the place you stayed during your first visit. As a matter of fact you drove right past my house in your video. Anyway you have seen more of the US then I have. I've never been west of Kentucky.
It always seems to be an ordeal crossing the border from the US into Canada! Glad it was less stressful for you this time around. Also this video just screamed camping and summer cottages! 🏕 🌞 Makes me look forward to next summer already! Looking forward to the next video north of the border! Cheers! 🇨🇦🦌🌲🍻
I was born here (I live 20 minutes north of CDA) ... still can't afford it now. I'm glad that my mom already owns her house, there's no way she could live on a fixed income otherwise.
Love it, nice views! Next time you should stay along the coast though! Vancouver, BC, Seattle, Portland. 🙂 If you have the time, a good ride is the Amtrak Coast Starlight train! I took it as my "ride home" from the Navy in 2003; they pay for your ride home, no matter how expensive. It is 400+ USD for a sleeper car ride from Seattle to Los Angeles, and it takes 36 hours to get all the way to LA. I only rode it to San Jose, though (I'm from that area, typing from that area now lol), so 24 hours for me. It's a beautiful ride though, and food is included at the 400 USD level. That also gets you your own little room on the train where you can lie flat and sleep. For all tickets, there's also a sightseer lounge with huge windows. 🙂 It's not the main way people get from Seattle to San Jose or Los Angeles; most of us would fly. Trains are simply too slow for that distance; even the TGV would take over five hours, when you can fly in 2.5 hours. But, it's a beautiful ride. 🙂
My worst experience in France was my brother getting pocket picked at the train station..but we didn’t let it ruined our time there cause the majority of good French people made the rest of our visit amazing!!! Enjoy your time here in the USA!!
I'm missing your trips. Got me when I seem your jump from STL to DEN. I was born in Bonne Terre MO, in1950, and in 1955 moved to Thornton CO, 20 miles, north of Denver. Yes, it is really flat across the Great Plains Seen you got 1st class on your trip to Boston., Spent my last year in the Navy there in Boston. Denver I worked ramp there at DIA, with United. You have to see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Was neat that you picked up a National Park Passport. Good way to keep track of where you went. Have Fun on your trips to the US.
Thanks for taking us all on your adventures Marie.. hope your having fun and be safe...you should've ask the border guard if he seen any bigfoot in the area 😅... take care girl
As a native Idahoan from southern Idaho, the CDA area is one of my favorite places in the world. I have spent a lot of time there and have several friends in the area. There is just something about a place I only visit that always feels like "home" whenever I am there. So glad you got to visit and I hope it felt like home to you as well.
If you want to see the west side of the Pacific Northwest, the best time is mid-September to mid-Octo ber. You will get a mix of good weather and fall colors.
stumbled on this video by accident... I live In Post Falls, right next to CDA I was going to jump in and tell you that.... when I saw myself in your video. LOL That's a first!
Cor d'Alene looks like a beautiful place. I didn't know it was like a resort town. I have been to southern Idaho but just passing through. You have now been to more states than the majority of Americans. If going back to Washington state, I recommend visiting Mount St. Helens. It's closer to Portland Oregon than Seattle. You can still see the total devastation from the volcano eruption in 1980! Although some areas are finally starting to grow back.
Hopefully you are heading south from there. I live just south of Waterton on the west side of Glacier National Park. Whitefish, MT is a fun place to visit.
That is the West coast. West of the Cascade mountains. Eastern and central Washington and Oregon as well as Idaho are not cloudy and rainy like Seattle and Portland are.
Boy, if you had trouble with /Spoke-ane/, you're gonna love the rest of central WA with Ephrata, Winatchee, Mattawa, Walla Walla, Cheney, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, Okanogan, Tonasket, and a ton more that I'm sure I'm missing but someone will bring up.
❤❤ Sorry, we in Missouri lost you to the Northwest, but such is life. There are some neat things in Idaho and vicinity. The Golden Spike thing north of Salt Lake city. The three islands crossing Oregon trail reenactment at Glens ferry. Used to be 4th of July weekend. Twin falls, and some great ghost towns. Sun Valley? Back in ancient times Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were a thing. Ernest Hemingway had a house there. Frank Lloyd Wright has a house at Hagerman. There used to be river parades in Boise. But bad management ruined that. The winter ice sculpture thing at McCall. The lake at coeur d'Alene used to have us navy sub training. The Nez Perce and their beautiful appaloosa horses. Like I said, lots of stuff between Salt Lake and Canada. But I know a lot is seasonal, and you would have to hang out for months to catch it all. Glad the mounties didn't lock you up. That is a curly W.
If you're exploring WA State, definitely check out Gardenview B&B in Kettle Falls, WA. If you pass by Seattle, I'd love to meet up for a decaf au cafe. ☕🙃
I live in Coeur D’Alene and we only have a month and a half of hot weather which is nothing compared to when I lived in San Diego, CA. San Diego summer weather was way worse.
When i first saw to STL to Spokane i was shocked their was a non stop but of course it stop in Denver. Une petit correction. It is “ as a French citizen” not just “ as a French. “. But this looked like great fun.
Too bad you pretty much passed through Spokane. The Steamplant Grill there is a destination dining experience, and they also have carousel in the main downtown park. Must be a Northwest thing. The Davenport Hotel is a gorgeous relic of a bygone era, worth taking a walk through even if you're not staying there. I've taken a Coeur D'Alene sunset cruise, as well.
I’ve traveled more around the world than my country of USA..I’m now 42yrs old..it’s only recently that I’ve started researching the beauty and diversity of this land and the people…that’s why I know you’ve already done more than maybe 80% of Americans..we as Americans haven’t seen more than our towns and cities..and I’m speaking for the majority, not the few whose had the opportunity, privilege, or ambition that allowed them and myself to see more..
Born in raised in CDA. People used to think of Napoleon dynamite when I said I was from Idaho, now so many people are moving there its almost unlivable with the cost of living to income. Unfortunately the secret is out and it's not my small hometown anymore.
Wonderful. Maybe not widely known, but Lake Coeur d’ Alene is deep enough that submarines have entered it. Military submarines only. From the Pacific Ocean. Yes there are tunnels all over this planet , under land and sea,
Gone from Spokane quick, that sucked. Spokane is a awesome city and the largest city in the Inland Northwest. Coeur d' Alene ID is basicaly a suburb of Spokane but we are very use to Spo being ignored or overlooked. .... Enjoy what is left of the Canada as it has been for generations, very sad
Love seeing my country through your eyes, Marie, your enthusiasm and joy is contagious! I'm proud of my fellow citizens for taking such good care of you. Another fantastic video!
Shoutout to Steven for being nice to our Marie! 😂
The lake looked so beautiful with the tree-covered hills all around! Can't wait to see more wilderness next week!
I was raised in flat, treeless middle America. I moved to Portland when I was 18 and was constantly in awe of the scenery. That part of the country has spectacular scenery.
Growing up in a flat part of the country, "flat" = "normal." It would no more occur to me to look at the landscape and say "so flat" than to walk into a big room and remark that the floor was "so flat."
Yeah to me you really have to be closer to the coast to be "PNW". The further you get from real cities like Seattle or Portland, the more likely you are to encounter people who think we did not evolve from lower forms of life lol.
Coastal PNW is awesome. Have you tried riding the Coast Starlight Train from Seattle to Los Angeles? I have only ridden it from Seattle to San Jose; it was my "ride home" from the Navy in 2003 when I got my honorable discharge. The Yeoman First Class said the Navy would pay no matter how expensive, so I got a sleeper train on the Coast Starlight. It takes 24 hours to get to San Jose, so obviously, your normal form of travel between those places is going to be jet aircraft (even HSR would still take twice as long as the jet), but you know, if you have the vacation time for it to take 24 hours, it's an amazing ride. Food is included, and you can hang out in a viewing car that has huge windows. 🙂
Go all the way to Los Angeles I think would take about 36 hours total. Then there's another train that goes down to San Diego, although it's down right now for repairs. They built it literally right on the coast back in the 1800s....made sense at the time, but there's been a lot of beach erosion due to climate change. They plan to eventually move about 10 miles of it inland, which sucks because you lose the view, but it will mean it almost never has to be closed down, and it might be a faster ride, too. 🙂
If your still there your probably homeless. What's left of that place? I'm from Seattle area it's getting bad around here tho the hills and trees are nice.

"'m from Seattle area it's getting bad around here"
MAGA detected
You shoulda went over th pass from sisters to Eugene, you go from high desert to true rainforest, triple canopy and over a 100” of rain a year, in a few miles. I finished growing up further southwest. Small area close to the coast, still true rainforest. Gargantuan trees that weren’t logged yet, insane old growth. I grew up around cedar trees bigger than most trees on earth. Haha. Found old, dead sequoias way up in the woods, miles in on foot, after hours of driving in old logging roads, at lower speeds. Fallen trees that were 300-400 feet tall, trunks 12-20 foot in diameter. And living trees 2-300 feet tall, and some extra, huge trunks. Random apple, pear and fig orchards in the deep woods. Water in every valley or draw. Wildlife everywhere, berries and mushrooms, plants, food all over. Now the downside, wet, almost always wet and cold, or cool. If not those things, then it’s wet, and hot. Humid. The worst of summer have seen 130 F and 100 percent humidity in the deep valleys, no wind, or high humidity. Cold. Fog. Freezing rain, snow, sleet, wind, 20-30 mph sustained or a bit more, gusts up to 120 mph plus recorded in the major valleys. We had trees snap like twigs and be blown tens of yards without touching the ground, basically tens of meters for the silly metric folk. A meter is 1/4 more a foot compared to a yards, yard is 36” meter is 39” and a little change.
I’ve been trying to convince my wife for years that we should move to Idaho!!
It’s so beautiful!!
Every time I travel there for business or to see friends I never want to leave!!
@@tcanfieldIt gets hot everywhere in US unless you're high elevation or coast. I have lived all over the US. Grew up in humid south so I prefer the heat here.
You were in Spokane?! I live there. So glad you got to see it and Coeur d’Alene.
When you come back to CDA Coeur d' Alane, check out the restaurant Capones. Good food and friendly staff.
Your beautiful smile is welcome anywhere.. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Safe travels and looking forward to many more videos of your adventure..God Bless.
I've lived in Coeur d'Alene for the last 6 years and love it here!
Bonjour Marie, glad to hear your flights to the Northwest went smoothly.
That area is very beautiful, and you've captured it perfectly so far. It's funny that your first tour guide was named Gary Cooper. There was a famous American actor named Gary Cooper (RIP) who was born just to the east in Helena, Montana. He was born in Lewis and Clark County.
I'm glad your entry into Canada was better this time. The border guards are just doing their jobs. I imagine as soon as they see your face they trust you. I know I would.
Marie, did they tell you WHY the lake was named, "Lake Pend Oreille"? I'm sure you can guess. 😃 I started out life not far from there and you were driving through the Selkirk Mountain Range. Many years ago, my family made their living logging in those mountains. I'm glad you had a great experience and I'm happy that you keep Dramamine with you now! No need to feel sick anymore! 😃 Thanks for sharing your experience. It's too bad you didn't have more time in that area because there's a LOT of stuff you missed that you really would have enjoyed. Maybe next time.
Hi Marie!! 🥰 Your title for this was intriguing, and then you begin with a visual blast to the senses of the almost surreal beauty of those red flowers😍! Then a fast barage of a seaplane, kayakers everywhere, and next a glimpse of Marie's most pleasant countenance and smile 🤗☺, followed with a plane's eye view of fields and lakes, green and yellow trees, mountains a flowing river, paddleboards, beach fun, a bus, cool looking frontier log buildings and cannon, a merry-go-round, family name plaques, playground and basketball, Canadian flag, Root Beer Dum Dums and a pretty gold tumb nail, lake ferry boat, paraglider above a boat, pretty hills, a speedboat, horses, and campfire 😇😉 - what a foreshadowing of amazing sights to come from your tour !❤ Your music enhanced it all Marie! "Good morning everyone" with that lovely Lewis & Clark mug, your desk and materials at 7:43 in the morning, as you tell us "I have a little bit of time before heading to the bus to go to the airport and fly to Spokane so I'll be editing my Canadian video"!❤ Oh Marie, if I could be as efficient as you are (if only, lol 🤣) 🙏😇!!! I really love your "It's time to believe in miracles" shirt 🤗 , and that subtle "thanks Rey", lol! Then we briefly see Marie the "Speed Typist/Editor" and ready to leave at 10:52 am, whew!! That was a cool scenic ride on the bus to the airport with shops direction signs to Lewis & Clark Sites, etc., and then board your STL to DEN 2-hour flight (Love your use of rotating letters to show the airport agenda 💕)! And Marie, I am loving ALL your music choices here, and especially the tune a you take off!! The geometric patchwork scenery below the plane was cool, and YES, SO FLAT, is Right!! Denver at 3:21, the Southwest Airlines DEN to GEG for 2 hours and 30 minutes (Nice clock you used there too 😉. Finally, Welcome to Spokane (with the unusual metal sculptures above), HOOPTOWN! That was an interesting 737 Carbon Brake there! I like the US flag by Camping World, on the way now to Coeur D'Aene (as I mentioned, my brother's home for a few years), with some nice scenery for "My first glimpses of the Northwest States!" Those are such pretty trees, mountains, grassy fields, and that wall artwork of boats on water, and a cool black sports car (a "Vette"??). The city greets you with its beautiful lake and tree covered hills, complemented by the lovely sunset 🌇. I love what you said Marie, "I sat by the fire at the hotel for a fe w hours and let this grateful feeling sink in deeply!" What a lovely time, and how fitting for the sweet young lady I know named Marie 🥰, whom I know has an especially grateful heart! ❤😇🙏 I love that contemplation of kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, caring, and God's simple love, as you do Marie ❤☺🙏 Now a "hello everyone" at 6:55 am in pretty green (yes it is a strange city name to pronounce in English 🤣. You had been having a blast and now on to the Coeur D'Alene tour and lake cruise, and on to Canada that night (AH, such a tell-tale lovely Marie smile with closed eyes thinking about it all 🥰). You said it felt like a dream or another person's life, but you deserved every second Marie!! The people were nice to you again, but you may begin to notice they always are, mostly because of how precious and kind and sweet they realize you are Marie 😉😇🥰. 34 C is warm for your day, and I am glad Caleb set it up for you to get to TSA earlier than others!! The 9:38 tour with Gary Cooper began with Sherman finding the town, and the lovely golf course there, especially with the floating 14th hole island (my brother showed me that one- WOW), where a boat takes you out and back, lol!! The whole course is so beautiful among the trees and mountains in the background, and we then see the lovely red flowers and a flock of white/black birds 🤗. There was that $15,000,000 home, and YES, you're right, it is such a gorgeous lake area (wish I could have visited while my brother still lived there). I love that Fort Sherman, Idaho, 1878, with the cool log buildings and cannon, the eagle sign, and the wonderful North Idaho College honoring of veterans at the Veterans Memorial (Vets of Schitsu' Umsh). I do remember your sharing that with us last year from DC, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and those are great pictures of the 1907 Civil War Monument, the Mount Suragace, the honoring the dogs of War, and Ha Ha Ha, the crescent moon Out House 😂😂!! You found Iwo Jima 1945, the City Park of 1904 (so pretty Marie), that amazing Historic Carousel, Playland Pier -- WOW!!!!! That is amazing - hand carved in 1922 fron Tonawanda, N.Y. I love more family name plaques we see in addition to the Reagan Family and the McFarland we saw earlier, with the Schroeders, the Krotech and Retzler and Jones families. The details in that hand carved marvel are stunning 🤗🤗. I so love that you had time to wander alone around the city "far away, actually, I mean far away, by foot" !!! What fun!!! I agree, your fun spontaneity is just wonderful and allows you discover for yourself many detailed things!! You said you really enjoyed that (I really LOVE that for you ❤❤), as you saw downtown, shops, colorful flowers everywhere, the Garment District, the Eagle sign by those red flowers 🌹, the sea plane landing, that Big black dog (cute), the amazing mountain/lake setting as a whole (no wonder Sherman loved it there), that cool high clock, paddle boats and kayaks, the tour boat, the parachute glider behind his boat, and Ha Ha, that great Moose Statue 😂. OH NO!!! Nausea as the cruise boat tour began (thank goodness you had your Dramamine with you, as Mom always did ☺), and what pretty scenery greeted you, the sail boat, balloon rider, and Marie is invited to the Captain's Cabin, with lots of questions about France 😉. I love the picture of your smiling face in the Cabin 🥰. You had great fun seeing the GPS, how to drive the boat, the million dollar homes, the amazing views, that LOOOONG stairway from the house to the water, the House on the Rock (WOW 😲). And finally back on the bus to Canada at 4:56, to Canbrook, BC, with the landscapes and Lake Pend Oreille (148 square miles), the 5:28 stop at Sandpoint City Beach Park for restrooms, lots of boats, and then . . . the border crossing as the only French on the bus 😵! Naturally, they came aboard and called Marie to come out to be questioned (thank goodness you are good at that by then, lol!!), and he gave you the trick question you handled so beautifully about your Canadian visits last year and this - YAY MARIE ❣ That was funny that Steven asked you if you tried Poutine 🤣🤣(close to my name StevenS, 😂😇)!! Then he suggested the window seat to you! I'm glad you also saw Elk, and how pretty as that sun began to set Marie. Now you are to August 3 at 8:23 am for Fort Steele and the Waterton Lakes National Park! Wow, Marie, what a trip so far, and thank you so very much for taking us with you on another enchanting ride with our gracious hostess 🥰🤗 (P.S. I love "A Beauty" Mustang as the picture of the day 😍). Your work was fantastically FrenchTastic and unbeatable as usual 💕. I am so looking forward to your next Northwest Adventures video next Saturday, and I am also so wishing the best for my sweet friend, so please be safe, take care, and enjoy your week Marie 🥰🥰🤗🙏❣
I live in the Coeur D Alene area. The name of the city, as well as Pend O Rielle lake were named by French fir trappers. We're told Coeur D Alene means "heart of an awl" or something similar as it's the name the fir trappers gave the local tribe for their harsh trading practices. It's cool to see you in a more unknown area that has history for both France and the US
Loved it, thanks for sharing :) The Northwest is by far my favorite region of the Country to explore.
Still so much to see 👍🇺🇸
I'm so glad you are getting to see so much of the USA. It's a very diverse and beautiful country. I've been to 49 of the 50 states. I'll see you one day North Dakota! I've probably seen more of America than most Americans ever will in their lifetime. Everywhere I go, people are generally very nice and welcoming. Particularly in small to mid sized towns where the pace is a little slower. Be safe, and enjoy your trip.
I love the way you highlight the beauty of nature, Marie. So much gorgeous scenery in the States. Looks like you had a great time. 👍
That's a nice part of Idaho. I've driven through there many times. Not very fun when there's a ton of snow out there 😂
Hi Marie......your such an inspiration to anyone that dreams of traveling to just do it. The memories you will carry with you will be something im sure you will often look back on with such joy but i hope also tremendous pride that you did what made your heart happy. Safe travels my frenchtastic friend and ill see you in your next video. ✌❤ from fla usa
Marie! I just caught myself smiling throughout the video, which seems to be an inescapable result of watching one of your videos. Just so you know, I actually enjoy segments you record of your traveling in a car or a plane, not just segments of the actual destinations. It's so much fun, like I'm on the trip with you. I also enjoy when you record yourself early in the morning, before you've put yourself together, hair a little mussed, as you whisper that it's morning and you haven't left yet for where you're going. The images you take are always so nice and bright and clear. Shots of animals you encounter or people doing things like playing basketball or just relaxing on a beach...it's all so much like a real day, not just one destination followed by another destination. I wasn't going to directly say this, but I saw another commenter in a recent video echo my sentiment, so here's my sentiment: you're adorable.
By the way, that floating green at the golf course and the "House on a Rock" were really neat! I sent the link to the video to my brother because he's a golf pro...don't know if he's ever seen that green. You made me want to play at that course. I used to caddy when I was a kid. I can't tell you how many golfers I've had to caddy for who became irate (swear words and all) every time they'd hit a ball in the water. I imagine that green probably has a million balls sitting in the bottom of the lake underwater around that green! No Mustangs in this one, but I think I'll live! :)
Hello Miss Marie !!! As always I hope you had a wonderful time here in the USA !!! The like button has been Illuminated 😊 I hope you had a Frenchtastic Halloween 😮
Your travelogues are very tasteful and pleasing. Thank you, I hope you keep on doing more of them.
Awesome Lois & Clark mug!!! Envious! Must be ALOT of golf balls in the water in front of that floating hole (14?)… nice to see people still enjoying the Marie-Go-Round or carousel I guess they call it. Great video! You’ve flown a helicopter and now you’re driving a boat. Can’t wait to see what you get up to next! :0) 🐺
Yes indeed. Lois Lane and Clark Kent 😂
@@fermisparadox01 Oops! 🤣
In 1973, I went to the Boy Scout Jamboree, a week-long campout of about 15000 Boy Scouts from around the US in Couer d'Alene. Our trip started like yours flying into Spokane. I don't think we even went into the terminal. I remember going directly from the plane to the bus, and we were out of the state of Washington in about an hour.
I grew up in Spokane and went to that Jamboree also.
Like the mug. Finally saw an Elk! Beautful scenery. Gorgeous Lakes. That was Kansas below you and it is flat from the air, a little less so on the ground. Glad to hear the border crossing was smoother. You really get some great shots on your videos!!🙂🙂Can't wait to see Waterton.
There is a movie about the area of Coeur d'Alene called Smoke Signals. It is a comedy/drama about the native tribe in the area. You should try to find a copy of it and give it a view!
When i was in high school, we had a choir tour up through Canada and then to the Pacific Northwest. We also got stopped at the border but at that time Americans didnt need a passport to get into Canada. But we had a lot of exchange students in our choir and they all got detained for a while until Border security was able to figure thinga out. The Americans were all left on the bus and given cookies!
Glad you liked it around CoeurD'Alene my sons grandparents are from Spokane it's gorgeous up that way
Wow! I can't believe you stopped in my home town. You did a great job capturing some of the beautiful scenery. Looking forward to your next video!
Lovely video Marie. Idaho and Montana is some of the most beautiful scenery in the US. It's an easy place to fall in love with, but has become prohibitively expensive.
Looking forward to the rest of your trip.
My uncle lives in Boise, about an hour away from Lake Cascade; Lake Cascade is beautiful as well
The first Ironman I did was in Coeur d"Alene a decade ago and again this last June, I love that area!
I love the scenery in Coeur D'Alene and most all of Idaho and being from Seattle I love the water and mountains. I played the golf course you showed many years ago and it is beautiful and one thing they did is the only course I've ever heard of them doing. They would follow the mowers with some sort of vacuums and so there were no grass clippings on the course! Anyway, so happy you are having such a great trip, it's quite the life you are living Marie!
Woah!! A new adventure , living the dream out west Marie 🤠 🏞️🦌
Spokane (spoh-kan ) looks absolutely delightful & engaging as city's go , an urban oasis with so many attractions & a amazing roaring falls , lovely shots of the blooms (Lilacs ) 🏵️ I'll highly recommend walking along garden springs creek. It's hard to imagine the riverfront was once a railyard & now is it's pride of place. I've heard they have quite a collection of restored 🛩️ there & some perfect trails up to the awe inspiring rocks of Sharon & ones that resemble a bowl & pitcher & now just right for taking a trip around the fresh farm's of green bluff , I also like how you can have fun with water sports & kayak through the city to. It was well worth visiting FF.
Idaho's has some beautiful scenery with it's diverse landscapes & curious ruins (bee hives like) & isn't there somewhere that's like Ireland , it really is the gem state in more ways than one , your surely in your element with those spendid views of the lakes , maybe you'll try your hand along the fairway ⛳ someday , I wonder if anyone's been successful at hitting a tee over to that Island. We'll probably wouldn't mind living along there if the home's weren't so pricey , they do have that amazing light show they say is the largest in the country. None of your trips would be complete without paying respect to all the veterans , it's interesting that the statue's are near where so much history happened , it's touching they included the courage of our faithful 🐕 companion to.
Always appreciate of anything hand crafted like a 🎠 coursel , your never to old to take a ride , I like how all the features of the state were shown. Hey it's terrific you'll got to go up front on a boat , it doesn't have to be boring , maybe the captain had a few stories to tell or give you some tips , I used to have a neighbor I babysit for that had a boat , they also had a cool golden Pontiac Firebird 🦅 that was all the range back then. Crossing the border thanking you did get lucky with Steve , I dunno why they have to pick you out just because your french but it turned out okay kinda complementary. Looking forward to what wonders of Canada await you next , your always inspiring that anybody that believes in themselves can seize the opportunitys that comes our way & enrich our lives.
Thanks Marie , I've found quite a few Mustang gifts I'm sure your like to have for your birthday , I'll send a donation during the week & a card for your special day , hopefully the stormy weather over by now , happy & peaceful Sunday , aur voir 🧑 💕✨✌️
I've lived in Coeur d'Alene for around a decade, but so many people are moving here nowadays everything is getting so expensive. I don't blame them though, it's a great place to live 😅
I moved from Texas to Idaho 25 yrs. ago. I found a small town (Pop: 275) in the mountains 60 mi. N. of Boise on a whitewater river system. We have no city/town police dept., just a county Sheriff's Dept. & 10 Deputies. People up here just look out for each other. Be careful around elk as they are in "rut" from Aug. into early Nov. It makes the bulls aggressive. I hope that you see plenty of wildlife.
Welcome to the inland Northwest. I live near Coeur D' Alene and its very beautiful up here. Even this time of year. Hope your trip is fun and safe.
Thanks Marie, it is so beautiful in that area. Glad to see you had fun. Stay well and be safe. Can't wait for the next video.
Sounds like you picked up a new subscriber at the border!
The North West is beautiful, if you like the outdoors you'll never be bored there ! You might look into Reliefband, wear it like a watch, supposed to help with motion sickness/nausea. Friend says it works🙂, have fun!
Thanks for this. I grew up a few hours away from this area. Couer D'Alene and Sandpoint were the summer vacations for our family. 25 years ago, it was an affordable getaway for a middle-class family looking to have a fun weekend. Not sure if it's still the same.
Idaho is a beautiful state I live in the southern part of state but wherever you go all beautiful! Glad you got to visit!
Very good start( like music elsewhere).Very flowery city with House on the Rock and the lake Coeur D'Alene;very beautiful...Thank's.🤩🤩🤩
7:50 what a cool little place! Love the marina!
You didn't really get to see much of Spokane?
I grew up there.
And have. Been to all the places you went to?
I'm so glad you're enjoying seeing the beautiful scenery.
Wow, you're getting to see such beautiful and amazing places! Thanks for sharing your travels with us Marie, much love! ❤
Geez you traveled so far on this part of your exploration. I’m glad you’re having fun.
Beautiful scenery on this video. You looked so happy. So glad you had such a good time.🦜
Lived in the CDA area for 4 years. As always, you do an excellent job of sharing. Anxious for you to visit the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Beautiful area of both countries. Great skiing in the winter
Bonjour Marie! Very scenic views in the Northwest and Coeur D'Alene looks quite lovely, too bad it's in Idaho (lol, just kidding.) Glad that you didn't have too much trouble at the border with those pesky Canucks (lol, just kidding, again.) Hope you and your family are all doing very well today! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed
I will not take my wife to Couer d Arlene, Idaho. I wanted to move there in the early 80's. She said no way. So I told her I would never take her there. That way she doesn't know what she missed. It's just beautiful. Now I couldn't afford it. Enjoyed your video. I have been on some of the route you took to Canada. We took a big motorcycle trip out that way. From Indiana all the way to the Pacific Ocean. That was a great trip.
I'm so happy you are getting to see so many different areas of the US. I live very near the place you stayed during your first visit. As a matter of fact you drove right past my house in your video. Anyway you have seen more of the US then I have. I've never been west of Kentucky.
Hope you had a good time in my hometown. Spokane
I'll be in Coeur D'alene for Thanksgiving visiting family. There should be snow there too. Hope you enjoyed yourself.
Wonderful video as always.
She is such a sweet heart young lady!
I live in the area your where plane landed, happy to know you were here.
It always seems to be an ordeal crossing the border from the US into Canada! Glad it was less stressful for you this time around. Also this video just screamed camping and summer cottages! 🏕 🌞 Makes me look forward to next summer already! Looking forward to the next video north of the border! Cheers! 🇨🇦🦌🌲🍻
Coeur d’Alene is amazing, but boy is it EXPENSIVE to live there.
I was born here (I live 20 minutes north of CDA) ... still can't afford it now. I'm glad that my mom already owns her house, there's no way she could live on a fixed income otherwise.
Je envie tous tes voyages!
Love it, nice views! Next time you should stay along the coast though! Vancouver, BC, Seattle, Portland. 🙂
If you have the time, a good ride is the Amtrak Coast Starlight train! I took it as my "ride home" from the Navy in 2003; they pay for your ride home, no matter how expensive. It is 400+ USD for a sleeper car ride from Seattle to Los Angeles, and it takes 36 hours to get all the way to LA. I only rode it to San Jose, though (I'm from that area, typing from that area now lol), so 24 hours for me. It's a beautiful ride though, and food is included at the 400 USD level. That also gets you your own little room on the train where you can lie flat and sleep. For all tickets, there's also a sightseer lounge with huge windows. 🙂
It's not the main way people get from Seattle to San Jose or Los Angeles; most of us would fly. Trains are simply too slow for that distance; even the TGV would take over five hours, when you can fly in 2.5 hours.
But, it's a beautiful ride. 🙂
MARIE! I LIVED IN COEUR D' ALENE 2003-04....LOVE YOUR CHANNEL,KENT IN OHIO,
Thank you foryour perspective. Well done !
I have a friend from high school who makes and restores carousel horses. I think he even did one or more at Disney Paris.
My worst experience in France was my brother getting pocket picked at the train station..but we didn’t let it ruined our time there cause the majority of good French people made the rest of our visit amazing!!! Enjoy your time here in the USA!!
Hi Marie! What a fantastic scenery and adventure. I hope to go there one day. Cheers!
The only time I went to Idaho was to camp at Craters of the Moon National Park. Very cool place with all the volcanic rock and all.
I'm missing your trips. Got me when I seem your jump from STL to DEN. I was born in Bonne Terre MO, in1950, and in 1955 moved to Thornton CO, 20 miles, north of Denver. Yes, it is really flat across the Great Plains Seen you got 1st class on your trip to Boston., Spent my last year in the Navy there in Boston. Denver I worked ramp there at DIA, with United. You have to see the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Was neat that you picked up a National Park Passport. Good way to keep track of where you went. Have Fun on your trips to the US.
Coeur d’Alene is beautiful.
Thanks for taking us all on your adventures Marie.. hope your having fun and be safe...you should've ask the border guard if he seen any bigfoot in the area 😅... take care girl
As a native Idahoan from southern Idaho, the CDA area is one of my favorite places in the world. I have spent a lot of time there and have several friends in the area. There is just something about a place I only visit that always feels like "home" whenever I am there. So glad you got to visit and I hope it felt like home to you as well.
Happy, happy, happy birthday. 🎂🎈🎊🎉
If you want to see the west side of the Pacific Northwest, the best time is mid-September to mid-Octo ber. You will get a mix of good weather and fall colors.
stumbled on this video by accident... I live In Post Falls, right next to CDA
I was going to jump in and tell you that.... when I saw myself in your video.
LOL
That's a first!
Oh 😂
Glad you had a wonderful time. Beautiful scenery! Hope you get to drive a Mustang this time...😂❤
Cor d'Alene looks like a beautiful place. I didn't know it was like a resort town. I have been to southern Idaho but just passing through. You have now been to more states than the majority of Americans. If going back to Washington state, I recommend visiting Mount St. Helens. It's closer to Portland Oregon than Seattle. You can still see the total devastation from the volcano eruption in 1980! Although some areas are finally starting to grow back.
You need to visit the Washington and Oregon coast!It is absolutely beautiful!
Hopefully you are heading south from there. I live just south of Waterton on the west side of Glacier National Park. Whitefish, MT is a fun place to visit.
Aw...you're seeing more of this country than Americans! 😊 Good for you 👍
Born and raised in Walla Walla, living in Olympia, my late uncle and his son started a winery there, hope you had the chance to sample some
The Pacific Northwest is really beautiful, but I don’t like that it is cloudy and rainy there so much of the time. When it’s sunny, it can’t be beat.
That is the West coast. West of the Cascade mountains. Eastern and central Washington and Oregon as well as Idaho are not cloudy and rainy like Seattle and Portland are.
Boy, if you had trouble with /Spoke-ane/, you're gonna love the rest of central WA with Ephrata, Winatchee, Mattawa, Walla Walla, Cheney, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, Okanogan, Tonasket, and a ton more that I'm sure I'm missing but someone will bring up.
❤❤ Sorry, we in Missouri lost you to the Northwest, but such is life. There are some neat things in Idaho and vicinity. The Golden Spike thing north of Salt Lake city. The three islands crossing Oregon trail reenactment at Glens ferry. Used to be 4th of July weekend. Twin falls, and some great ghost towns. Sun Valley? Back in ancient times Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were a thing. Ernest Hemingway had a house there. Frank Lloyd Wright has a house at Hagerman. There used to be river parades in Boise. But bad management ruined that. The winter ice sculpture thing at McCall. The lake at coeur d'Alene used to have us navy sub training. The Nez Perce and their beautiful appaloosa horses. Like I said, lots of stuff between Salt Lake and Canada. But I know a lot is seasonal, and you would have to hang out for months to catch it all. Glad the mounties didn't lock you up. That is a curly W.
Fun trip so far. I see you like Wallace and Gromit. 🐶
The West truly is the best.
Crazy to see that you came to my hometown 😂
If you're exploring WA State, definitely check out Gardenview B&B in Kettle Falls, WA. If you pass by Seattle, I'd love to meet up for a decaf au cafe. ☕🙃
I live in Coeur D’Alene and we only have a month and a half of hot weather which is nothing compared to when I lived in San Diego, CA. San Diego summer weather was way worse.
When i first saw to STL to Spokane i was shocked their was a non stop but of course it stop in Denver.
Une petit correction. It is “ as a French citizen” not just “ as a French. “. But this looked like great fun.
I think you are ready to watch Twin Peaks now.
Well I was born in couer d'Alene what do ya know.lived. In Spokane till I was 11 and we moved to Alaska.
Too bad you pretty much passed through Spokane. The Steamplant Grill there is a destination dining experience, and they also have carousel in the main downtown park. Must be a Northwest thing. The Davenport Hotel is a gorgeous relic of a bygone era, worth taking a walk through even if you're not staying there. I've taken a Coeur D'Alene sunset cruise, as well.
Too bad you didn’t explore Spokane more. Much to see.
should have come down to the CDA Casino :)
I’ve traveled more around the world than my country of USA..I’m now 42yrs old..it’s only recently that I’ve started researching the beauty and diversity of this land and the people…that’s why I know you’ve already done more than maybe 80% of Americans..we as Americans haven’t seen more than our towns and cities..and I’m speaking for the majority, not the few whose had the opportunity, privilege, or ambition that allowed them and myself to see more..
Did you make it into Glacier national park?
Yes!! 🤭
Born in raised in CDA. People used to think of Napoleon dynamite when I said I was from Idaho, now so many people are moving there its almost unlivable with the cost of living to income. Unfortunately the secret is out and it's not my small hometown anymore.
Love your stuff..you are so incredibly beautiful..wow.
Wonderful. Maybe not widely known, but Lake Coeur d’ Alene is deep enough that submarines have entered it. Military submarines only. From the Pacific Ocean. Yes there are tunnels all over this planet , under land and sea,
Dis pas we where off but we were off
Gone from Spokane quick, that sucked. Spokane is a awesome city and the largest city in the Inland Northwest. Coeur d' Alene ID is basicaly a suburb of Spokane but we are very use to Spo being ignored or overlooked. .... Enjoy what is left of the Canada as it has been for generations, very sad
