O Idaho

Idaho! A brand new state for me; I've never been, and wasn't sure what to expect. We entered Idaho at the top of Lolo pass. They had a nice vistors' center with free hot chocolate and a film on Lewis and Clark. They are really into Lewis and Clark out here. Their figures are on road signs all across the northwest, always pointing at things. I guess that's what explorers do. The next 100 miles took us down through a canyon that runs along the Clearwater River. Enormous fir and pines blanketed the mountains that rose up on either side. I can't really explain just how lovely and rich the sight was. It didn't really fit in a camera lens either, but I took a video anyway.
