In the land of endangered species...



Most of the Selkirk Loop is endangered species territory. In recent years we've been discovered putting pressure on some of these amazing creatures. I've had both Black and Grizzly Bears on my property and its not unusual to see Moose, Elk, Whitetail and Mule Deer. Cougars and wolves also inhabit the area.

Today's shots are of Priest Lake, which is just shy of the eastern boundary of Pend Oreille County. In addtion to the link directing visitors to the Selkirk International Scenic Loop ( http://www.selkirkloop.org ) , folks can now check out Pend Oreille County's own effort ( http://www.newportoldtownchamber.org
) to learn more about the local region. The Kalispels have their own site as well- http://www.kalispeltribe.com . No matter where you go to find out about the area we hope that you'll take the following well intended advice-

Pend Oreille County-
Visit Often.
Visit long.
Come play.
You'll want to stay!
