Today I spent much of the day running around lookin

g for costume supplies (green duct tape is harder to find than you would think) a

nd going to the doctors office (so I could have needles jabbed into my foot...to which I say: ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow!).

But there was a very nice break in the middle when my friend Heather

and I made it out to the Sound Garden near Sandpoint. It was a bit weird getting there, as you

had to check in at a security post and get some sort of clearance that required our IDs being taken away for 10 minutes, and then we were issued badges. A bit of

driving, and a hike down a slidey, leafy path...and we

found it.

It was lovely. The sounds were odd, random, and wonderful. The trees were all turning great fall colors. The water was near by and ripply. There were many tiny flowers and mushrooms. And we came across a skeletal bird foot. Though it was a bit of a pain getting in, and having to do so on a weekday during work hours, it was totally worth it. Highly recommended.
