Grangeville, ID.

We have climbed out of the wilderness up to Grangeville and back into cellphone networks, wifi, and the familiar surrounds of a city park.

Clearwater River

Since Missoula we've been following rivers though narrow forested valleys. This closely follows the route of the 1805 Lewis & Clark expedition and the later flight of the Nez Perce. First was Lolo Creek then Lochsa River which grew wider through yesterday's ride and joined the Middle Fork Clearwater River at Lowell.

To Grangeville, ID.

20 July. We are usually quite strung out, so a bunch pic is rare. Here we are being led by the pilot cab through some roadworks.

Lochsa River to Lowell

19 July. We followed the Lochsa River through the Bitterroot Wilderness for 65 miles to Lowell.

Devoto Memorial Cedar Grove.

Spent some time amongst these cedars that were already old when Columbus and the boys were sailing around.

Lolo Creek

Lolo Creek that we'll be following for a couple of days.

Idaho

At the top of Lolo pass we entered Idaho again. This time we are going across to Oregon.
