Day 9: North to Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint, then East to Kalispell, MT

 
There was more beautiful farmland as I headed north from Moscow toward Coeur d'Alene, but not quite as breathtaking as that between Moscow and Lewiston.

 
I stopped to do my wash at a coin laundry in Coeur d'Alene just down the street from this motel with a sense of humor.

 
I found civilization in Sandpoint, Idaho, in the form of Starbucks, where I stopped for coffee, and across the street a Mail Boxes Etc.

US Highway 2 from Sandpoint to Kalispell, Montana, is forested and rural -- hunting and fishing country mainly.
