Travel Day
We departed Clarkston, Hells Canyon RV Park, to clear
skies and pleasant weather and drove the first few miles along the Snake
River. Leaving the river, the route (Hwy
12) took us over rolling hills with one notable 9 mile moderate grade, and past
miles and miles of various fields. This
is an area that grows wheat, barley and canola among other crops.

| Sacagawea and Clark (or Lewis) bid us farewell |
 |
| Beautiful Canola fields along the way |
 |
| Many missed these steel silhouette sculptures of the Lewis and Clark Encampment of Nov. 1805 |
We drove through many little towns. Dayton was notably picturesque and many of
the group stopped to explore shop and eat.
Just west of town, high on a hillside to the right was a giant figure
“carved” into the slope. I had been told
that it was a 1500’ Jolly Green Giant, as many crops for Green Giant are grown
in the area. Other opinions were Lewis
or Clark- I’ll vote for the Jolly Green Giant, but you can take your pick.
Short travel days give us more time for “chores”, crafts,
and best of all – social time!
