Fantastic Scenery in Idaho




We left around 8:30AM continuing on Highway 12 East through Orofind, Kamiah, Lowell to Missoula. We followed the Clearwater River for a long time. It is beautiful, with lots of white water, tall pine trees along the banks, waterfalls, and a very curvy road. In fact, there was a sign that said "Winding Road next 99 Miles" It was true.We traveled 100 miles, much less as the crow flies, it took 4 hours.  The road was also called "Northwest Passage Scenic Parkway, Lewis & Clark Trail & Nez Perce Trail.  When we crossed over Lolo Pass we were in Montana. Several times the words "Moose Crossing" were written on the road. I guess we were on the moose's road.

We got on I-90 and all was well. We were about half way to Butte when Jim passed us & pulled over. He had a broken fan belt, an easy fix. It wasn't long until we were back on the road again. This was the first car issue since June 28th.

Mileage today:  317   Total mileage is about 9,500.
