Bigfeet to Bigfoot

June 23, 2011

We are on a quick hop to have new steps installed on our caves.  Taking US95 north, our first stop was at My Father’s Place for a vegi-burger. The price should cure all future cravings for this treat!  But since the craving had taken us 20 miles out of the way, we went ahead and indulged.

Back on the road, we continued north on 95 to the VC for the Nez Perce National Historical Park. After stamping our parks passport book, we looked through the exhibits and then sat in on a ranger talk demonstrating what we could learn about the Nez Perce from the photos mounted in the auditorium.  He also showed us a variety of flutes mostly made from various wood, but had one made from pvc pipe to show us they can use a variety of products to produce their tunes.  He played just a few notes to demonstrate. His program was very interesting. We finished up our visit there by watching the informative video.

Back on the road, we fueled up in Lewiston and then headed up the hill toward Moscow. Wow, that is one long, steep, hill.

We turned off 95 to check out a possible camping spot in a state park, but after climbing and climbing on a muddy one lane road we eventually came to an “oversized vehicle turnaround” so high tailed it out of there. The next rest stop marked on our map did not exist, so we proceeded on and again turned off the highway to another state park. This one panned out and we are camped in Heyburn State Park for the night.
