There are several fires burning near us that are making the air here really smoky. Today is the worst day yet for the smoke, the only good thing about it is that the mosquitos seem to be staying away from the campsite.
There was a plan today to try again to visit the Nez Perce museum. A Montana Highway Patrol officer stopped this morning to let the camp host know that highway 43 was going to be closed again today due to the forest fire. There wasn't much else to do here, so they all piled into the Jeep to explore some of the small campgrounds and forest road near Sula.
Here is a picture of a rock formation that they found at the top of a very steep jeep trail. It's called the "Idaho Rock" because it's in the shape of the state of Idaho. It's in Montana!
Next, they found the original Sula schoolhouse built in the early 1900's. It was restored in 2011 complete with the school bell. Inside there were desks, books and newspapers from the early 1900's.
Tonight we are getting a little rain, hopefully that will help the firefighters. Tomorrow we move on to North Fork, Idaho and maybe less smoke.
