Lolo Pass and Canyon and the Clearwater River

 The only Moose we saw was a little tiny stuffed one in a gift shop.

 Note snow depth marker in background.

 Loved the Lewis and Clark connection and the history in this area.

 Clearwater River in Lolo Canyon.

 Premier RV Park in Clarkston, WA.  and......

...our waterfront view out the windshield of the Snake River.

Drove Highway 12 from Missoula to Lewiston/Clarskston today.  A five hour drive over two lane highway for abut 230 miles.  Pooped but glad we took this route.  It is full of Lewis and Clark history as well as the Nez Pierce Indians.  The highway crosses the Bitteroot Mountians at Lolo Pass.

From Wikipedia - "The Clearwater River is a 74.8-mile-long (120.4 km)^[1] river in north central Idaho, which flows westward from the Bitterroot Mountains along the Idaho-Montana border, and joins the Snake River at Lewiston. In October 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition descended the Clearwater River in dugout canoes, putting in at "Canoe Camp," five miles (8 km) downstream from Orofino. By average discharge, the Clearwater River is the largest tributary of the Snake River, although the Salmon River is longer and drains a greater area."

Wish we had more opportunities to stop but Norv is a bit too big for many of the historical sites, which were mostly on the other side of the road anyway.  The weather was GREAT!.  All the rain and nasty stuff from yesterday was gone and we had clear skies and sunny weather.  Ended the day in T Shirt and shorts sitting by the river.  We are going to spend two nights here before heading back up to Coeur d'Alene.  Hope to get both the coach and the truck washed tomorrow.
