Well, that’s mountain climbing a 70 year old, out of shape man can do. That’s by Jeep. As I stated in one of the earlier blogs from this location, there are mountains on both the North and South sides of this valley. I –90 runs down the North side of the valley and our campground is on the South side. This is a picture of the roads on the South that I can see from the campground.
I have looked at them since we got here and hadn’t been able to find out anything about them, so I finally got on my trailer Life DVD map program and was able to find out where they started. Turned out it was only about 2 miles from the campground. It is a logging road which means it is just a rock and dirt road primarily single lane. Twila and I decided to try it yesterday. It is a dead end road so we only followed it until it crossed over the top of the mountains and started down the other side. I think it was probably 5 or 6 miles. It was fairly rough but didn’t even require 4 wheel drive. This is a picture looking back down on our campground.
These are just some pictures I took showing the road.
This is our last day here in Turah. Tomorrow morning we will head East on I-90 to St. Regis, MT which is almost to the Idaho border.
Jack and Barbara left here Wednesday morning to park their trailer at a cabin their son and his family have rented close to Stevensville, MT which is South of Missoula. They will meet up with us again Sunday at St. Regis and then we plan to continue looking around Northern Idaho.
