[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]
