February 25 – Saturday Day trip Priest River. Dinner at Hills Resort ….
I am proposing this trip for Saturday, February 25th. By putting it on this weekend it will interfere less with the long President”Day weekend (2/18-20) when folks might be taking more extended trips. We would meet at 7:30 in the Ironwwod Albersons Parking lot near the Jack in the Box It is about an hour and three-quarters up to the Priest Nordic Center. According to IDPR this is a Park & Ski Area so your sticker should work there. There is a shelter at the Nordic Area to eat lunch. It is a short drive to Hills and a more harrowing ski (going) as I remember. Please respond to let me know if this time works. If it does for the majority ok. If not there is time to reschedule.
