July 3-10
Idaho, Washington, Montana
- Leave Ponderosa St Park @ 8:30 am. Cross 45th parallel at 8:45
- To Lewiston, ID...a glorified Butte, MT - Pop 30,000. Had lunch at a Waffles 'n More at 11 PT. Outside of Lewiston, we get spontaneous on that Idaho ass and stop at a casino in the Nez Perce Indian Reservation. Gambled on video slots - no video poker here. Brad: -$2. Nick: +$2.
- On to Spokane, WA. First refuel is $33. Not too much to look at here. The drive through eastern Washington is nice but boring - rolling hills get old after a while.
- To Sandpoint, ID, about 70 miles away. Had a beer at a place called Eickerdt's. Denise at Outdoor Adventures recommends camping area at Lake Pend Orielle. Takes some effort to find (wrong dirt road) but we set up camp in Kaniksu National Forest and have a fire by 6:30. We have the best fire poker sticks ever.
- Dinner is BBQ chicken and corn on the cob. MMMM!!
- Mileage: 520 total/400 driven today
- Darkness sets in by 11 PM
