| The work on the Bigfoot was fabricating and installing a back porch/step... |
 |
| It doesn't look a whole lot different, but permits better access to the basement as well as easier storage of the (accursed) scissors steps; and some exterior storage |
 |
| Our route took us through familiar and favorite territories; here we have stopped at Lolo Pass, on the Montana/Idaho border, in the heart of Clearwater country, in the heart of Lewis and Clark country... |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| In past years, we snowmobiled out of this lot perhaps half a dozen times a year; with so little snow, not in 2015... |
 |
| Another favorite place; a favorite ride was from the Pass to Lochsa Lodge for lunch (not pictured but I'll get it next time for scenic, historical, and personal interest: the Bernard De Voto Cedar Grove) |
 |
| One of the more photographed road signs of the West; what it doesn't tell you is that, in addition to winding, the road follows one of the great white-water rivers, the Lochsa, and drops from more than 5,000 feet to about 1,200 feet, where it meets the Selway, becoming a fork of the Clearwater and then of the Salmon |
 |
| A bit of the Lochsa, lower down, least water I've ever seen in it--and this is as high as it will get this year...when we rafted it in '97 or so, there were 25 class IV rapids in the 24 mile stretch; you could wade across most of it now...sic transit, Gloria |
 |
| Camped on the Salmon River |
 |
| All along the Salmon and the tributaries we drove, we noticed porta-potties being set up and small groups of fishermen [sic] massing for attacks on the salmon |
 |
| Porta-potties evidently are a big business during salmon runs.... |
 |
| You know you're in Basque country when...let's see...the last fronton we saw was in St. Jean Pied de Port, on the Camino de Santiago, French/Spanish border, 2012... http://roadeveron.blogspot.com/2012/09/st-jean-pied-de-port.html |
