Another beautiful drive today. Straight down Highway 95 to Lewiston and the Hells Gate State Park. It took a little over 4 hours to reach our destination. We passed by many large fields of grain and hay, and the towns of Lake Pend d'Oreille and Lake Coeur d' Alene before reaching Lewiston, Idaho. Lewiston is known as Idaho's Seaport. Large quantities of grain are shipped by barge down the Snake and Columbia rivers to the Pacific.
The town of Lewiston is also on a site where Lewis and Clark camped in 1805 on their Corp of Discovery Expedition. We are camped along the Snake River under a large oak tree. The site we reserved for us was a little too small, so the Ranger moved us to this great site. We have a peek-a-boo view of the river, and there is a 20 mile bike path along the bank that Kathe and Jim are planning to explore.I've had a spin around our loop B and it's pretty nice. Lots of grass and trees, but it's over 100 degrees outside right now and I didn't feel like doing much. Wait till about 6 AM tomorrow morning and I'll be a happy camper when I take Kathe for a walk.
