RV7 Flight: Sandpoint, Idaho, August 2013

We decided to fly to the North Idaho resort town of Sandpoint, where we hadn't been in four years. Because the distance between the airport and the resort area is a two-mile walk, we decided to stash our fold-up mini bikes in the luggage compartment. Here we're flying over the beautiful little town of Sandpoint, that is a beach resort in summer, and a ski resort in winter. We have many happy memories of skiing at Schweitzer Mountain Ski resort, and eating pizza in Sandpoint afterwards for dinner. Here's a picture of a vacation home with a hangar below it, just off the Sandpoint Airport runway. The developers have many lots for sale, however only three lots have sold since we first became aware of it four years ago, and no homes other than the prototype have been built. We didn't check to see what the lots are selling for; no interest. But real estate in Sandpoint is pricey. We did see some home listings for anywhere from $275,000 (a shacky cabin) to $3.5 million.   Leav
