Robinson Lake Bonners Ferry ID

I have posted a few pictures of the Robinson Lake area.  I have just started exploring the area...there will be more to follow along with a few more details about the area and my experiences as a CampHost.

                                                         Yellow Skunk Cabbage

It has skunk like odor to draw flies as pollinators.  It is edible but you may experience a burning sensation in the mouth if eaten raw.  If roasted/dried it removes the burning sensation.  The yellow skunk cabbage is related to taro a staple for the Polynesians.  It is also eaten by black bears.

                                                                         Trillium

It can be boiled as a green and eaten.  Some Western Indian’s used it as a presumed aid to childbirth with a nick name of Birthroot.
