On the Road Again
Monday, February 4th, 2008We had the best time in Sandpoint visiting our daughter and her husband. August 14 was their 3rd anniversary. And it was the day we needed to be back on the road heading home to Georgia. To start this homeward ride, we took a scenic back road, Idaho 200. From Sandpoint to Missoula, MT we followed the Clarke Fork River (named for Wm. Clarke of Lewis and Clark). It was an incredibly beautiful ride through the mountains of Idaho and Montana. I understand why our kids enjoy living here.
In Missoula we picked up I-90, then turned south on I-15. The air was thick with smoke from the forest fires - which burned through most of Summer ‘07 - creating an eery, yellowish atmosphere as we rode down a nearly abandoned Interstate.
Mile after mile we rode- there isn’t much to interrupt the scenery. We crossed back into the lower part of Idaho and got as far as Pocatello where we stopped for the night.
