Daily Update: Thursday, June 5th
Greetings from Lewiston, Idaho. Today’s update will be brief. I apologize but we are exhausted.
We departed from West Yellowstone, MT heading north on 191. As we were enjoying the picturesque scenery I noticed a large bird of prey in a small stream just off the roadway. When I pulled over to turn around I saw another on a fence. Both were Bald Eagles!! Who would have guessed we’d see two of he nation’s bird within 300 yards of one another.
After we reached I-90 we scooted up to Missoula, Montana to pick up hwy 12, the Lewis and Clark Trail. This road was over 100 miles of beauty following a fast flowing river the entire way. Darrin, you would have fun in those rapids!!
The rain started to fall pretty hard about 50 miles out from Lewiston and after 500 miles today we grabbed a motel room. Not much fun setting up camp in the rain while being completely drained.
Tomorrow we plan to drop into Washington then head down to Boise.
Total mileage so far: 2,611
Total states: 10
I’m falling asleep typing this so no pics today. Sorry!
Since you are in Idaho, keep a keen eye out for Mary Ann.
Ben Franklin wanted the nation’s bird to be the (wild) turkey. They are definitely tastier than a bald eagle. pttooey.
Did you see Hell’s Canyon? Any remnants of Evel Knievel’s jump there?
You know i thought this was a big camping trip you guys are supposed to have. So far all I hear about are cabins and motel & hotel rooms.. Whats up with that. You guys are really roughing it
