6/19/09 - Coeur D' Alene, ID




When we got up it was raining again and it rained off and on all day. We were going to drive 18 miles to the bottom of Hell's Canyon on the Snake River, the deepest canyon in the U.S. (even deeper than the Grand Canyon). However, the road is very steep and too dangerous to drive on when it is wet. The other roads to the top of the canyon do not open until July 1. We drove through parts of the the Nez Perce National Historic Park and went to the visitors center in Spalding, Idaho. They had exhibits of old Nez Perce Indian things. We had beers at two brewpubs in Lewiston and Moscow. The bartender, Wendy, at the Ale House in Moscow gave us two pints for free! We checked into an RV park on the outskirts of Coeur D' Alene so we could take a bath, update the blog, and recharge the Casita's battery.
