Upon check-in I told the clerk that I wanted to pay with cash, but he insisted that I provide him with a credit/debit card. This put a strain on my checking account. He wouldn't accept cash.

Sandpoint was lovely to walk around the downtown and beach area. Didn't explore Ponderay, but appeared to be more spread out like a suburb.
