Although science may tell us Lake Pend Oreille and other lakes of North Idaho were formed by cataclysmic earth-scouring floods during the Ice Age, I’m holding to my own belief they were all created by an extinct race of lake-building giants. My admittedly non-standard explanation for North Idaho’s stunning lakes holds that the smaller lakes, Twin and Spirit, for example, were dug out of the ground by the children of the giants, little fun practice lakes made by laughing, playful giant toddlers and children that while quite beautiful as lakes, are also relatively simple and safe. Lake Coeur D’Alene was carefully constructed by the women of the giant race, made rather intricate with numerous placid bays and connecting lakes, it shows great care and patience. Somewhat of a crocheted or knitted lake -- TUBOB/Unbearable Bobness of Being.
