Twinlow Park Rathdrum Idaho 1938 Posted RPPC Real Photo Vintage Postcard Lake
Take a look at this topographical real photo view of Twinlow Park in Idaho where the massive pine trees are clearly the main event and the lake is just playing background support. The back of the card is where the real action is happening though. A woman named Nettie wrote this at six in the morning just to tell her mother how incredibly busy she is before the camp rising bell even goes off. It was postmarked in Rathdrum Idaho in July of 1938 and shows expected vintage wear like softened corners minor edge rubbing and some light surface toning. As always that David Bowie watermark across the images is strictly a digital security overlay and is absolutely not printed on your physical postcard.
As an authentic vintage piece, this item may show typical signs of age, which can include minor edge wear, soft or bumped corners, slight yellowing, and light surface blemishes. Please carefully examine all provided high resolution photos for the most accurate and definitive representation of the item condition prior to purchasing. Trivia Corner
Nettie mentions in her message that she is teaching a class on Southern Mountain Missions and waiting for the rising bell. That is because Twinlow Park was not just a standard public recreation area but a dedicated Methodist church camp nestled on Twin Lakes in Northern Idaho. It was founded to give folks a rustic spiritual retreat which perfectly explains why our writer was up at the crack of dawn preparing for a play and religious classes.
