Also, fresh huckleberries--I'm jealous. My sister lives in Coeur d'Alene, and I make sure to go huckleberry picking whenever I visit in the summer, but it's been a few years since I've been out that way.

Huckleberries were a bust, we only found a handful, they were early this year but we had found a 1/2 gallon a few weeks ago around Missoula. The spot was off the charts beautiful in Libby though and there were a bunch of wild raspberries mixed in so all was worth it. We took my dad's rig up into the mountains about 14 miles in a forest service road. Also fished a few brook trout out of a stream, panned a few flakes of gold, and walked around a high clear lake. I love the Idaho panhandle and that part of Montana which by all rights should be Idaho. CDA (cause I can't spell Coeur d'whatever) is where my mom had been living up until last month so we go there a lot as well. Also a nice area but not as "getting away from it all" like Libby is. CDA has a good balance of jobs and affordable housing while not being Texas LOL! In Missoula we have fair jobs but the worst housing prices in Montana, even worse then the national average along with the highest tax rates in Montana which are then multiplied by the highest housing values for basically double what the rest of the state pays. I'm kind of sick of Missoula but have 14 more years here till I can escape.
