Yeah, that’s true, most of the shoreline is unpopulated (must be hard to believe for people in different parts of the country).
Continuing the travelogue...
Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort just outside of Sandpoint, ID is excellent also. Sandpoint is an excellent town to stay in and is right on the lake shore (lake often partially frozen during ski season — not sure if it ever freezes across the entire surface).
An, I bet it’s beautiful up there.
Always think of Mark Fuhrman and Sandpoint.
