Last Stop!

The job here in Idaho is the last stop on this journey, so home beckons! George finished early on Saturday so we took a little drive up the mountain to get a bird's eye view of Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA.

On the left, Lewiston, to the right, Clarkston, and the confluence of the Clearwater (l) and the Snake (r) Rivers. I wanted to follow the Snake on down to Hell's Canyon......... .
It's what happens when you read books like Streams to the Rivers, Rivers to the Sea when you're a kid. Note the curvy road; we went down the mountain that route. The road was built in 1917 and takes you 10 miles to descend 2000 feet.

The mill.
I've decided that I like naked trees.

This shot was meant to catch the decline and curve of the road but then my eyes were drawn to the cattle on the hillside (those white spots to the right) and my mind went back to some point in my childhood when Dad had me almost convinced cattle that grazed on hillsides like this had shorter legs on one side of their bodies :)
