This was a serious driving day as we followed SR 55 and Us 95 from Meridian to Lewiston, Idaho. The scenery ranged from pleasing to spectacular as we followed the North Fork of the Payette River up to McCall and Lake Payette where we had an idyllic lunch interrupted by hungry bees. Then we came down from McCall following the Little Salmon River, which we decided has about the right difficulty for people like us to raft on. There were a lot of rafters having a good time. We did stop at a Hell's Canyon Visitor Center and the White Bird Battlefield site of the Nez Perce NHS. Another tragic tale. We ended up in Hell. No kidding, we spent the night at Hell's Gate State Park, right on the Snake River. The campsite is gorgeous, but the showers are a challenge. We also just avoided a skunk on our evening walk. But it was peaceful and cool after another day in the 90's.
