Correct pronunciation or not ,It in no way takes away from the fact that you produce some of the best travel adventure on CZcams out there👍Keep on truckin my friend
I miss Coeur d' Alene alot. Lived there 2006 to 2011ish. I would have relocated back there last year but the prices are too much for land . So for me I relocated to the Ozarks South Central MO. I love it here. Not as beautiful as CDA but pretty close. The pronunciation is Kore duh' Lane . Hagadon the owner of the resort, used to have a "Santa Klause North Pole trip during Christmas season. That was an awesome experience for my small children. When i lived there I was fortunate enough to meet a fabulous couple Ward and Joan Simpson who are now both deceased God Bless their family and may they RIP. They had a very modest estate in Mica Bay. One of the oldest homes on the lake. The two of them were so gracious to allow me to bring my young children to their home to enjoy a ride on their boat and fishing from their boat dock. I am saddened to know of their passing. Anyways I loved working in Spokane and traveling around the area whenever we could afford to do so. I went to Real Life church in Post Falls. Great place. I had two great bosses that I worked for. Anyone thinking of moving to CDA , rest assure that it is God's Country and certainly one of the best places in America to live.
That was a very dusty road. My husband loves all of the scenery in your videos, however, he will not take our rig on dirt roads. Thank you for sharing!
Love your channel but it’s pronounced “Core da Lane”. Big props though for pronouncing Spokane as Spo-can instead of Spo-cane! Spo-cane makes me grit my teeth every time 😂
@@GrandAdventure oh sorry if this came across harsh or something. I was hoping it would sound helpful. We actually live in Spokane and we still learned a lot. We always watch your videos the minute we find a new one. They’re so educational! ❤️
I have lived in North Idaho " Cd"A" for over 60 years. Nothing much changes here. Nice place to live a full life in my youth and still canoeing the River your on. Simple quiet life. Peace.
@@GrandAdventure what's funny is that my Mom, who lived in New York state, pronounced it "Cur" also. She passed away over 20 years ago now, but I gave up trying to get her to pronounce it correctly. Spokane has the same problem with their pronunciation as well as hundreds of other towns in the US!
Thanks for your videos Mark. Not only are they entertaining but educational as well. Your videography is superior to other channels and the combination of it all is a great way to relax before bedtime.
What a perfect boondocking spot! 16 miles of dirt road does sound kind of “out there”. Glad the road was decent - you got to take “the point”next time so you’re not eating all that dust!! That was something about all the minors that were lost. So many times I traveled across Idaho via 90 and never even stopped to look. After watching this video and other videos you have made, it’s amazing how much beauty we miss when we just drive point to point! Thanks, Ram 👍🏼👍🏽
Sometimes you just need to stop and smell the roses. As for eating dust, that's the problem with mobbing down some dirt road -- you're guaranteed to catch up to someone slower. 😄
Great video Marc! My late hubs & I eloped to Coeur d'Alene many moons ago, so it holds a special place in my heart ♥️! We’ve returned to the area many times for the superb camping & fly fishing. I’ve actually been considering relocating there and your video has me dreaming again! Thank you!
Don't relocate here it's already impossible for those of us who have grown up here to find affordable housing because fvck holes like you come here and pay more than the local economy can support
@@torylivingston8368 100% agree with this woman, you don't like where you live now, move to Seattle it's much nicer and the locals are friendly and caring.
Barley scratched the surface of things there and in surrounding area. I live in Thompson falls Montana just across the border, if you continue on over the mountains from Burke that leads to Thompson also can go up the courd’alene river over Thompson pass. Keep wanting to go back over to Wallace and walk the Pulaski trail.
I was born in St. Maries, just past Harrison. I worked for Buell for 8 years, I fixed log trucks on every highway in this video. I rented a 2 bdrm house fenced front and back yard, washer dryer for 475 a month for 4 years. Then COVID they poured in from California and Washington. House sold, got a 1 bedroom apt for 600 a month, it sucked. Moved into a friends basement for 500 a month. The next person in the apartment was from Washington, paying 750. The house was bought by a Californian, he did some work to it and got someone from somewhere to pay 1200. Everyone I knew that was renting got kicked out during this time. Last I knew the apartments were 900 and all Washington and California plates parked outside. And Im now in Oregon.
My heart is always at Camp Easton and that part of Idaho. My Grandfather was the caretaker. I never wanted to come back to SoCal as a kid. My grandparents are buried there. What is funny Kellogg was a reference in our minds as kids to Corn Flakes.
What a cool thing to do! Sit in middle of the stream in rv chair and be at one with the center of the universe! Blowing things up seems to be the quintessential american thing so no wonder miners wanted to destroy things, albeit can you imagine if dynamite went off with all of them in there... that would have been immediate death to everybody.
Another great video Marc, you always find amazing camping places, and you find some of the most interesting places to visit, you just have a nack to tell great stories about them, thanks for sharing and travel safe
Awesome once again ! I love trying to figure out where you’ve been at on a map based on landmarks and your descriptions. Didn’t notice Ed was shirtless until I was reading the chat. I had to rewind….thought he had a white tshirt on….a.k.a. looks like my Midwest skin tone…. Thank you for sharing. I’d join the chat but I get up to early….in bed by the time premiere happens. Thank you again. It means a lot to me to watch your GA
And it means a ton to us that you watch, thank you as always! FYI we always put a Google Maps pin to our precise camping location in the video description. Also, there's an interactive travel episode map including those pinned spots at GrandAdventure.tv.
@@GrandAdventure Now Don’t go bursting my thrill of “Where’s Marc camping” bubble with those proverbial pins! 😀 Yep I’ve seen the locations before and that is very cool for you to do. I just make it a game to map it out on my own. Yes Im odd. Many folks covet that info but you are such a gregarious man. Genuine to the core. It’s just another reason to love GA!
This is a beautiful area. I love the clarity of the mountain stream, it looks pure and clean. It is interesting to see how nature is reclaiming the old buildings in the ghost town of Burke. Very interesting area! Looking forward to Glacier National Park next week!
Hey Mark! Look like you are right where we are heading to today. My family lives in that area, so we get to adventure in thus area once or twice a year! Looking forward yo your upcoming video on the area! Hope you had a wonderful time there!
Loved seeing this! You are in our neck of the woods! So much to see and do here. We absolutely love camping these mountains!!! Did you know that Wallace is where they filmed a good bit of the movie Dantes Peak? Since you've been there, you are going to have to watch it... you'll recognize many of the landmarks. And, with the Cataldo building...the Nez Perce/Flathead built most of it on their own. Its fascinating reading their accounts and history. And, it is a gorgeous building. Thanks for such a wonderful video!
Fabulous views, Marc. I loved the crystal clear river rock stream that went bye your boondocking site. I could see that Zoe liked it as well. I'm curious to know how it was that all those similar sized rounded stones got deposited all along the stream bed bottom. It looks glacial to me but normally you see various size stones and boulders. These were like a perfectly sized lining of the stream bed. You don't see that very often and it is unique. Also, the history of the various towns is a part of the treasure that you offer that never gets old. Looking forward to next week's adventure in Glacier National. That should be incredible. Gord
Actually Gord, those rocks aren't that uncommon out here. Years of being knocked around and into each other by the river current tends to act like a giant polishing tumbler. Glad that you enjoyed this one! We had an amazing time in Glacier, as you'll see next week.
@@GrandAdventure Thanks Marc... yes, I'm looking forward to it. Did you have to make reservations to get in? Regarding river rocks... yes, a tumbler effect is required but not just water flowing over these stones will do that. It has to be massive grinding and pressure to accomplish that. What is seen in the riverbed is just the resulting wash out of debris settled in those areas of the local drainage basin. Gord
@@gorrdd yes, we needed vehicle reservations for both the Going-to-the-Sun Road Corridor, and the North Fork Corridor. With a bit of persistence with the F5 key, however, we were able to score them the day before.
@@gorrdd still crazy busy. I first drove it midweek after 4pm when reservations are no longer required. I again drove it on Saturday morning with a reservation and it wasn't much different.
Love your show I came across it accidentally I'm out here in my 36 ft Damon intruder pulling a car boondocking or otherwise dispersed camping I'm in Forks Washington right now nice and cool
Yup, we heard that but only after producing the video. Actually what we heard was that it was the last traffic light on any Interstate highway in the U.S.
Just Wow, that so many locals are correcting you with the proper pronouncing of the place. Like visitors are suppose to remember how each town is pronounced? 16 miles down that dirt road with those RV'S must have jiggled things a bit. Thanks for taking us a long on your summer trip.
I must have missed you guys by maybe 1 day! Were y'all there for the Blues Festival? Would have been fun to run into you guys. Love your channel and adventures!
Absolutely! Especially after we hauled out a couple of trash bags of rubbish. Much further downstream near the start of FR-209 there are many, many more sites
Great video Marc! The history was awesome. This just shot to the top of my list. I have friends that live in CDA, I will have to find this spot. Did you use your Starlink while you were there and how did it do?
@@GrandAdventure Awesome thank you! Does it seem there is a fair amount of boondock spots around there besides the spot you were at? Just wondering how available that area might be.
Hey Guido, how do you feel about the proposed changes to the mirror lake highway area? Rumor has it, going to cost more to camp. I'm not opposed to it. Everything is crowded. Anything to thin out the heard
Areas that already have fees like the Mirror Lake Highway, that doesn't bother me much. Campgrounds up there have always charged, and there's been a daily recreation pass fee in place for many years. But hearing things like starting to charge $20 to camp at The Wedge, or limiting FR-525 outside of Sedona to five established boondocking sites whereas there are currently 30 to 40, is troubling to me.
It’s pronounced: “Core (like an apple core) Duh Lane.” The spelling is French, “Coeur D’ Alene.” Meaning: The name, “Coeur D' Alene” was given to the tribe in the late 18th or early 19th century by French traders and trappers. In French, it means “Heart of the Awl,” referring to the sharpness of the trading skills exhibited by tribal members in their dealings with visitors.
Whether or not it fits the local pronunciation, the French pronunciation of Coeur (as it was given to the tribe and the area by the French) is "cur". That's what I get for having a Francophone wife. 😄
With Coeur d'Alene being such a vibrant tourist area, that wouldn't surprise me, Alex. I'm guessing though, that much of the Silver Valley is still rather inexpensive due to the economic challenges surrounding the closing of the mines. I could be wrong, of course.
@@GrandAdventure Granted, I will rephrase. It is more vegetative in Seattle. Palm trees, sword ferns, banana trees, bamboo, cherimoya, English ivy, monkey puzzle trees, rhododendrons, etc. do not grow on east side of the Cascades. It is greener on this side of the state, warmer, and wetter. At least in my experience.
Pronounced "Core" d' Alene not Cur d' Alene how you could get that wrong I don't know you sure didn't hear any locals pronounce it that way, pay attention.
Its not Curd' like ("Curds and whey"), it's Coeur d'Alene (like "Cord of wood"). It's tuff to listen when you repeatedly mispronounce throughout the video.
Great review. You did our area proud! However it's pronounced "core" not "cur". Thanks!!
My bad, and thanks for that!
Correct pronunciation or not ,It in no way takes away from the fact that you produce some of the best travel adventure on CZcams out there👍Keep on truckin my friend
Thank you Brooke!
CORD!!!!
not curd, CORD a lane

Happy to bring you back, Dennis.
I miss Coeur d' Alene alot. Lived there 2006 to 2011ish. I would have relocated back there last year but the prices are too much for land . So for me I relocated to the Ozarks South Central MO. I love it here. Not as beautiful as CDA but pretty close. The pronunciation is Kore duh' Lane . Hagadon the owner of the resort, used to have a "Santa Klause North Pole trip during Christmas season. That was an awesome experience for my small children. When i lived there I was fortunate enough to meet a fabulous couple Ward and Joan Simpson who are now both deceased God Bless their family and may they RIP. They had a very modest estate in Mica Bay. One of the oldest homes on the lake. The two of them were so gracious to allow me to bring my young children to their home to enjoy a ride on their boat and fishing from their boat dock. I am saddened to know of their passing. Anyways I loved working in Spokane and traveling around the area whenever we could afford to do so. I went to Real Life church in Post Falls. Great place. I had two great bosses that I worked for. Anyone thinking of moving to CDA , rest assure that it is God's Country and certainly one of the best places in America to live.
Thanks for sharing your experience. However, the Ozarks are no slouch in the beauty department. We truly enjoyed visiting that area back in 2020.
“Coor-dah-lane” .. I grew up on the north fork.. LOL!!! 😂
It's a gorgeous area to grow up on.
good video, I've gone Coeur d'Alene 3 times, but haven't camped near the river. Love there so much. Next time I will camp there❤❤
@@tyrion3744 Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Kim! Dust can certainly be a PITA, but it seems like the best boondocking sites are always down a dirt road.
Love your channel but it’s pronounced “Core da Lane”. Big props though for pronouncing Spokane as Spo-can instead of Spo-cane! Spo-cane makes me grit my teeth every time 😂
Don’t sweat the small stuff! 😉 Great video!
Yep every time he said coeur d alene it hurt my ears. I'm surprised either all the history and facts he shared that he got the pronunciation wrong.
Can't win 'em all.
@@GrandAdventure oh sorry if this came across harsh or something. I was hoping it would sound helpful. We actually live in Spokane and we still learned a lot. We always watch your videos the minute we find a new one. They’re so educational! ❤️

We certainly did.
oh my gosh, ive never heard it pronounced like that : ) I will call it this from now on,
and great video. awesome history lesson
Ask any Francophone, and that's what you'll hear.
What a spectacular boondocking location! Loved hearing all the history, too. Thanks again Marc. 👍
Our pleasure John, thanks so much for watching.
Us locals pronounce it "Cor" dalene......not "Cur".....but small matter!
And it took me so long to say "uh-layne" instead of "uh-lean." Dammit! 😄
Yes, it hurt to listen to the repeated mispronounced name over and over.
Never heard it called Cur dalene, even by my friends from Southern California. Is that on R-out 66, near Press-cott Arizona?
@@jimhammond2864 well, it is a French word, not an English word. And the French would have a similar cow to hear it pronounced "corr".

But hearing things like starting to charge $20 to camp at The Wedge, or limiting FR-525 outside of Sedona to five established boondocking sites whereas there are currently 30 to 40, is troubling to me.
It’s pronounced: “Core (like an apple core) Duh Lane.” The spelling is French, “Coeur D’ Alene.” Meaning: The name, “Coeur D' Alene” was given to the tribe in the late 18th or early 19th century by French traders and trappers. In French, it means “Heart of the Awl,” referring to the sharpness of the trading skills exhibited by tribal members in their dealings with visitors.
Whether or not it fits the local pronunciation, the French pronunciation of Coeur (as it was given to the tribe and the area by the French) is "cur". That's what I get for having a Francophone wife. 😄
i heard its expensive real estate out there
With Coeur d'Alene being such a vibrant tourist area, that wouldn't surprise me, Alex. I'm guessing though, that much of the Silver Valley is still rather inexpensive due to the economic challenges surrounding the closing of the mines. I could be wrong, of course.
pronounced 'Core-da-lane'
Pronounced “CORE DA LANE”
Seattle is prettier. I have lived in both areas.
"Prettier" is in the eye of the beholder. That said, we've found beauty in every little corner of this nation.
@@GrandAdventure Granted, I will rephrase. It is more vegetative in Seattle. Palm trees, sword ferns, banana trees, bamboo, cherimoya, English ivy, monkey puzzle trees, rhododendrons, etc. do not grow on east side of the Cascades. It is greener on this side of the state, warmer, and wetter. At least in my experience.
It’s pronounced core-dah-lane.
It's a shame all that lead in cda lakes.
It is indeed a shame, along with other toxic metals leeching from mines upstream -- as is the case across much of the western US.
Did you get a permit to film on national forest land?
Can you post a link to more details about needing a permit to film? Thanks.
I can't watch this it looks beautiful but I can't stand the way he says Coeur d'Alene it just sounds wrong
Don’t be too hard on him he’s probably from Chicago
Mispronounced Cda. Core dah lane😀
Pronounced "Core" d' Alene not Cur d' Alene how you could get that wrong I don't know you sure didn't hear any locals pronounce it that way, pay attention.
Nice to hear from you, too.
Its not Curd' like ("Curds and whey"), it's Coeur d'Alene (like "Cord of wood"). It's tuff to listen when you repeatedly mispronounce throughout the video.
CdA sucks. Don't move there.
Srsly, don't move there
It's not "Ker-de-lane." It's pronounced "Kor-de-lane." Do your research.
...say, "Coeurd' Alene", correctly please.
You should learn the correct pronunciation of Coeur d'Alene. It's not ker, it's core.
