As a wee lad can remember dodging the tug boats pulling log booms down from the St. Joe River, across Lake CDA and down the Spokane River for milling. Water skiing was for the brave as stray logs broken away from the boom was common place. Hitting one of those put a damper on a good slalom run.
Mid-80s, took a gal from Hayden to a movie and driving thru CDA, the sawmill was ablaze. Pretty spectacular fire. Sadly, no handy at the movie that night. CSB
