August 13, 2007

It looks like Coeur d’Alene is not such a secret after all. Our drive north on US95 is full of cars, RVs, and traffic lights much of the way. Who would have thought that northern Idaho was such a tourist mecca. Once past Bonners Ferry, ID we turn east on Rt. 2 into Montana leaving the crowds behind. We are following the Kootenai River southeast. It is very scenic. Just past Troy, MT we stop and hike down to Kootenai waterfall.

Between traffic and the change to Mountain Time we didn’t make it very far and we stop for the evening in Libby, MT. Our camp neighbor tonight is a talkative old geezer peddling homemade walking canes.
