Coeur d'Alene Lake, ID

Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho is very beautiful.. This is just one of the many trails we walked. The sun was out and it got to the low 60's, so took advantage of the nice day.

Entering Idaho

Yeah! we crossed over from MT to Idaho! Got a slight headache from going up quickly in elevation. We passed the continental divide.

Feeling hungry in Idaho

This is me when I get hungry. We were walking around looking for a place to eat.

Driving in the clouds in Idaho

Driving along I-90 in Idaho. Literally driving among the clouds. Lots of rain since we hit MT. Suppose to have sun most of the day tomorrow. We will walk around a large lake, very nice town here called Coure d' Alene (sp?). Will have better pics. tomorrow.

Montana's signature

This is the view from our campsite in Bozeman, MT. We are off to the museum of the Rockies today and then to visit some old friends who happen to have moved from New England to MT.

The Crow

We passed thru part of Crow country (reservation) upon entering Montana. The Crow called themselves the Apsaalooke, which was translated by French interpreters as "People of the Crows". The Crow were originally given the name "Children of the large beaked bird", by a neighboring tribe, the Hidatsa.

Upon seeing this sign, it reminded me of a crow I once knew. Perhaps his spirit has gone on to soar free in this land.
