September 15

Travel was uneventful today. Butte, MT hasn’t changed much, from I90. Enjoyed a bit of lunch at a nice Montana Rest Stop, they do have some nice ones. Through Missoula and stopped in Lolo, MT and proceeded into Idaho over Lolo Pass. Highway 12 across Idaho is for the most part a great road, just have to like curves. It is a slow road, speed limit mostly 50mph. Stopped for the night at a great USFS campground that surprised me by being nearly full on a Sunday night.

Enjoyed sitting outside with the very comfortable temps, even needed a long sleeved shirt. Visited with a retired couple from California. We shared campsite and things to see info, and a few wildlife encounters.

Early to bed so we can early rise.

Moving on a little earlier, that’s usual for us. Only about 160 miles for the day to Pomeroy, WA. Trip was slow because of a 10 mile construction zone, 35mph speed limit and a pilot car wait. Beautiful country all along Lochsa River to the confluence with the Selway River and becomes the Middle Fork Clearwater River. Would be a fun drive on a motorcycle. Then negotiating all the construction through Lewiston, ID/Clarkston, WA and on to Pataha Creek RV Park in Pomeroy, WA. 

Finally back to good cell service and the fastest RV Park WiFi I have ever encountered. Thanks to the Port of Garfield.

Just staying two nights so we can do laundry, empty tanks and add water. Will check out the town tomorrow.

Make your day great.
