A fort, hastily built to survive the cold, wet winter of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Arriving in mid-November, the fort had to be built quickly to assist in their survival for the winter. The fort is much smaller than I expected, but it obviously fit their needs.

Surprisingly beautiful waterfalls Reminds me of some I saw in Hawaii. The walls of the gorge are steep and rocky with very thick greenery so it should not be a surprise that springs and snow melt would produce some pretty grand waterfalls.

Here is a video of the disappearing statue.
Highway 12 in Idaho is possibly the most scenic drive I have ever taken. The range of altitudes, weather, scenery, and history, all make this an unforgettable day of driving. It was much more than I expected today, it was remarkable. There were times when I was nervous about the visibility and driving conditions, but even then I was stunned by the beauty. Lewis and Clark faced these same conditions and the comments in their journals reflected the same awe that I felt today. At the Lolo Summit, I wanted to walk some of the same trails that the Corps traveled, the peaks of the Bitterroot Mountains. The Ranger there said I was welcome to do that, but she warned me that the snow varied from 5 feet to 7 feet on those trails. She also advised that the snow will probably remain on those trails well into June. Needless to say, I didn’t take that hike. Highway 12 follows the rivers from the summit to the valley below and there is new beauty at every turn. I can only imagine this drive in a convertible in warm weather or maybe a Harley. The altitude at Lolo summit was 5,366 feet. Daily data: Beginning odometer at Super 8 in Missoula, Montana was 29,794 miles. Ending odometer at Comfort Inn at Lewiston, Idaho is 30,019 miles. Fuel stop at Missoula. 10.368 gallons @ $3.259 for a total of $33.79. Meals for the day were $24.00 Lodging for tonight is $79.74.
