Ultima Thule...

In ancient times the northernmost region of the habitable world-hence any distant, unknown or mysterious land.

 In the summer of 1922 famous silent screen actress, Nell Shipman opened a production studio in Minnehaha Park in North Spokane and started filming her movie "Grub Stake". She then moved her production team to Lionshead Lodge, Priest Lake, Idaho to complete the movie. After 2 1/2 years of filming in Idaho Miss Shipman said this about Priest Lake...
 
"Did you ever come to a place and instantly recognize it as your Ultima Thule, the one spot in all God's world where you belonged, where your roots could go deep into the soil which would forever nourish you: Where inspiration and spiritual blessing welled up from the earth to top the tallest tamarack, spread to the encasing bowl of sky, return on every waterway to feed you everlastingly? Such a spot, so it seemed to me, was Priest Lake, in Idaho."
