It's good to be Stew
Keep it coming!
Thanks Ski for the first part.
In our dozen trips to the Yellowstone area we have passed the Salmon Creek Reservoir
area but never turned to go to it.
Maybe next time we will have to take a look.

Some familiar soaks in ID and a skillet toss!
What could be more fun!
Callie would like to help with the geese herding.

Thanks Ski.
Lolo pass area was one of our great finds back in the 08 trip to Glacier/Yellowstone.
Nice "cuts" I have been wanting to get some fishing in so next week we head out for the Ebbetts Pass area and Heenan Lake.

Thanks for the trip report. I also have a copy of Patrick Trotter's book on Cutthroat trout and always thought any place with native cutthroat was a place worth visiting. We lived in Idaho for 20 years but never made it to Kelly Creek. May be next year.

Where are these High Lakes in Idaho? I did a google search and got nothing useful...

Oh, Mercy, a long way yet to go on one flat tire. The suspense is killing me!

Your reverence for historic sites is palpable. I'm looking forward to your impressions of the little place along Grasshopper (Willard's) Creek.
The first time we visited Lemhi Pass was in 2000, before most of the present interpretive panels along the main road were erected for the L&C Bicentennial in 2005. Our sons, then 16 and 12, were with us and we approached from the east. I purposefully parked the rental SUV a hundred yards below the crest and did my best to explain the hopes of the L&C party as they approached along the same path 195 years prior--that they would see evidence of a short portage and thus an easy trip down the Colombia. Instead, we saw exactly what they saw in 1805---"immence ranges of high mountains still to the west of us". I was moved, significantly moved, by the experience. My sons said I was a dork.

What a great journey,thanks for the ride.
I've always enjoyed all the books/stories about L C and their travels.
Over the years we have made it a point in our travels to see as much of the route as possible.
We have been as far east as Monticello and west to the camping areas along the Pacific.
I appreciate the work of the people who have placed all the info along the routes.
Sure was an incredible journey.
I have read the book "From Sea to Shining Sea" by James Alexander Thorn.
Very good story about the Clark family and the L&C journey.
Also a good read with the L&C journey is "Sacajwea" by Anna Lee Waldo.
Thanks Ski for a truly great trip story.

[SIZE=12pt]Thanks for sharing your stories. We too did a five week outing from Alameda to Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Once we got to Oregon, we went to the mouth of the Columbia, up the gorge, and through the Palouse. As time went on, we were surprised (shouldn’t have been) to be following so much of the history of Lewis and Clark. In Great Falls, we wanted to see “The Falls” thinking it would be similar to Idaho Falls we were familiar with. Until going to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (a great museum and learning center) there, we didn’t realize they had actually had to portage over five falls, sometimes only making so little way, they could see their campsite from the night before. Also took the boat ride through the Gates of the Mountains which gave us an idea of their first sight of the Rocky Mountains.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Don’t know about you, but staying in the camper for over a month really is a pleasure. Was almost a hardship to move in with family for a couple days during the trip. Also makes the homestead here seem too big after having everything we needed in the camper.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Looking forward to more and glad your fall didn’t dampen the trip.[/SIZE]
