We headed east and crossed the Snake River between Clarkston, WA and Lewiston, ID. We headed up HYW 12 along the Clearwater River scenic by-way for about 90 miles towards Lolo Pass. We followed the river through beautiful farms and pine studded gorges on a narrow twisty road. This is through Nez Perce country, where Cheif Joseph led his people. Along the route the Locha ("rapid waters") and Selway Rivers merge with the Clearwater. We got to see many rafters and kayakers challenging the wild rapid, especially along the Locha River. We traveled over Lolo Pass (5,225'), which is the state line between Idaho and Montana. We wanted to stop by Lolo Hot Springs as Skip was there when he was 7 years old. We spent the night in Missoula, MT at Jelly Stone RV Park, where we met Linda and Georgette from Kelowna, British Columbia. They also had a Roadtrek and it was fun to share stories with them. We had a great night and were ready for Day 3 to come!

Hey-I can't believe you found snow in May. It will be interesting to see what other kinds of weather you encounter. We had hail in Gig Harbor yesterday.
