Short but steep drive today south on 93 down to the Wagonhammer RV Resort. It was a 7200 foot climb up over Chief Joseph Pass and a decent of a 5% grade for about 5 miles. So many, many hairpin turns that we had to slow down to 25 miles per hour for most of the drive.
All that was worth the effort. We are camped by the beautiful Salmon River and there is no smoke! We will be here for 5 days, and plan to relax and explore the many ghost towns in this area. There is not much else to do here except some fishing.
Our only problem is the fact that there is really no internet. We have to keep trying all sorts of ways to get some kind of service, and it's a pain.
Last night we had the worst rain storm ever, giant rain drops and thunder and lightning for about 20 minutes, but the good news is that it helped the firefighters are gain some ground.
I'll do my best to keep up the blog, but don't worry if I miss a day or two. Maybe I'll get Kathe to take me to the lodge where they promise better service.
