Harrison

Always up for a new "Harley" adventure, Mike and I set out for a ride around Lake Coeur d' Alene on a Sunday morning in early September. The lake was beautiful and amazing. Known as one of the world's most beautiful lakes, it has 109 miles of shoreline. Our mission...to ride around the entire lake.

About ninety minutes into the ride, we came upon the charming town of Harrison. Named for President Benjamin Harrison, this town was incorporated in 1899 and was once the largest city on Lake Coeur d'Alene. In 1917 about half of the residential area and a number of businesses were burned in a major fire and sadly most of the town was never rebuilt. Today Harrison is home to 203 people. Talk about a small town.

I must say I was taken by the charm of this little gem. Check out some of my photos ~

We left Harrison and continued around the lake towards home, stopping a couple of time to take photos.  One of the more interesting stops is described on the sign below:

 

 

 

As usual, a picture is worth a thousand words:
