Although the drive south today was really interesting, it sure took a long time. We passed many fields of wheat, hay, lentils, and garbanzo beans. Thousands of acres between Lewiston and Grangeville, Idaho. Beautiful fields of golden wheat being harvested and bales of hay ready to be gathered. There were even some fields that were being burned in preparation for a new crop of wheat. It was helpful that many of the farms had signs that identified what was being grown. Just for us city folk! Later in the day we drove through Riggins, the white water capital, and watched people rafting down the Salmon river. We drove along the river for miles and miles.
We ran into the dreaded road work in several places on the highway and had to drive slowly over gravel which made the trip even longer. Then there was a 7% grade down hill for about six miles outside of White Bird which had Kathe and I holding our breath for a long time.
Once we arrived, we lucked out and got a great site here in McCall at the Northfork RV resort. I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow.
