Lochsa River, Idaho

Highway 12 about 100 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho

Mile 17,394

 

 

I was so hot and the river was just too inviting not to take advantage.  On up the road a few miles, several bikers had the same idea, except the guys left their clothes on the bank of the river.  I waved as we rode by.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After getting completely soaked in the cool river, I put my riding gear back on and was quite invigorated riding down Highway 12.  The wet clothes and the mountain air kept me plenty cool for miles.

Big Hole National Battlefield, Montana

Highway 43

 

In the late 1800’s a band of Nez Perce Indians were slaughtered at this site by the U.S. Army.  The Indians that managed to escape headed north toward Canada.  They were pursued for the next 4 months, finally surrendering in Bear Paw, Montana.  I left the site extremely depressed.

 

Poles from the teepees can be seen in this photo.

Madison Mountain Range

Highway 287 Montana

 

The road took us right down into this valley.  With mountains on both sides of us, the wind was pretty fierce in the valley.
