Day 19 Grangeville, Idaho

June 15 Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all Dads. It was my father who exposed me to camping (it was tent camping back then) and exposed me (and my brother) to the beauties of nature in this wonderful country of ours. Thanks Dad--miss you.

After church we set out to explore Grangeville, in the north central part of Idaho in the panhandle. There are 5 rivers here, plus fantastic mountains and prairies with amber waves of grain, and lots of narrow winding roads here. This is where the Nez Perce Indians lived long before the white men came and displaced them.
With just one day to spend here, we chose to drive along the south fork of the Clearwater River. We started at the top and worked our way down to the river.

Fishermen were along the shore of the river trying to snag some salmon. What a great way to spend Father's Day.

Stopped at a bridge that crossed the river.




















There were some rain showers (of course) as we headed back up to the top of the canyon. This rock was sticking out right over the road.

Back in Grangeville, we spotted a well named restaurant. We miss our dogs!!

We had grilled steaks for dinner. It rained all night.
