If you have already read my last post you might want to go back and read it again because I added a whole day's worth of activities---sorry for the inconvenience.
We left Orofino, ID this morning "in the rain" as usual. It actually did stop after just a little while. We were still driving by the river, which makes Dee a little nervous. When we got to Lewiston, ID it was just real quick that we went across the Snake River into Clarkston, WA. We began climbing and topped out at Alpowa Summit at about 2735' but after the rain we found real strong winds. When Lewis and Clark got to this summit they found very rich black soil and made comment on it. There was lots of farming from here on. They even went high up on the hills with their crops. As usual it was beautiful. We took this one road that "the boys " loved because it was hilly and curvy and rather more narrow that we have been driving but it was not a favorite of Dee's. I don't have much problem with any of our travels, but we crossed over a very narrow bridge and that I didn't like. Luckily no one else came from the other way. It was over Lake Herbert.
We never know where we may find a good place to eat. All the towns we have been thru are usually small because we are on state roads not interstates. We stopped in Washtucna,WA for lunch. A wide road thru this burg with plenty of room to park. It was, I think, the only eating establishment in town--combination bar and cafe--and the food and service were excellent. Dee said it was the best burger she has had on the entire trip, my big salad was terrific and Bob had lots of fried shrimp and french fries and was as happy as a pig in slop. Marvin just quietly ate his cheeseburger without much talk. His only disappointment was that there was no dessert so that came later in the day--pie and coffee. We have camped out in a Wal-Mart lot tonight and we go on to our rendevous destination in Soap Lake, WA tomorrow.
