We're alive! Yesterday we drove across Idaho on Hwy. 12. We lucked out and the weather cleared. It was a beautiful drive over Lolo Pass where Louis and Clark crossed. There was still snow up there. Then we drove along the Lochsa and Clearwater rivers. The water is really high with lots of scary rapids. We found the River Dance Lodge where we had lunch a couple of years ago. We ate there again and were not disappointed. Bill discovered a new beer...Waiumau Wheat. Last night we stayed at the campground owned by the jet boat company. Today we jetboated the snake river! It took all day with lunch included. The whole river is rapids and two of them were class fives. Of course we first went up them and back down through them on the way home. It was fun. The class five rapids looked like rapids Bill Bauer would have enjoyed. This is a beautiful part of the world. We are privileged to be able to experience this. The weather has been in the 60's or colder all day with rain changing to sun on and off all day. Yesterday we saw some elk and today we saw big horn sheep and mule deer.
