We left White Bird the morning of the 5th headed for Clarkston, Washington. We didn’t really have a reason for going to Clarkston, well maybe to go to Wal-Mart. When we left White Bird we had to pull the long grade heading for Grangeville. It was about 8 miles after we got on Highway 95 till we got to the top. There were several grades over 8%. I wasn’t able to get any speed up from the start and ended up pulling it in 2nd gear at 25 mph. Jack could have pulled it a lot faster but he stayed behind me all the way up.
We stayed two nights at the Hillside RV Park in Clarkston and then headed out this morning. We came down Highway 12 across Idaho and into Montana. Highway 12 has been designated the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway. It is part of the route Lewis and Clark took looking for the Northwest Passage from the Missouri River to the Columbia River. It was a beautiful drive but very tiring since you went from one curve into another as the road followed the rivers.
We are staying at the Square Dance Center and RV Park just outside of Lolo, Montana. We will be here for 3 nights.
