Batter-up! The soldiers at Fort Spokane enjoyed playing baseball during their leisure time. On the field what mattered was how they hit, caught, or pitched; not their rank. The soldiers' team, the Boys in Blue, would play nearby farming communities.

What is your favorite sport to watch or play during your leisure time?

As we move deeper into fire season, please be aware of your surroundings. Lake Roosevelt is a great water source for firefighting aircraft. If you see a plane approaching low, move towards the shore.
