Roosevelt Dam to Idaho,Montana and Wyoming

Sept. 30th to Oct.2.nd---Leaving Roosevelt Lake we traveled towards Spokane and through the pan-handle of northern Idaho stopping at points of interest along the way. The scenery was spectacular with fall starting to turn the forest into brilliant colors of red and yellow. Entering Montana, "The Treasure State", we headed south to Wyoming and the gateway to Yellowstone National Park.

Spokane, Washington the gateway to northern Idaho

Welcome to Idaho a new State that we have not travelled.

It seems that Idaho has a lot of everything Mountains, Rivers and fertile grasslands.

Montana is the 4th largest state and ranks 44th in population with only 958 thousand residents. As we traveled south the mountains gave way to large fertile valleys that supported ranching and farming.

The Ranches in Montana are huge some containing thousands of acres

As we were leaving Livingston Montana, just north of the entrance to Yellowstone, a pick-up truck pulled up beside us and told us that we had a huge bulge in the sidewall of our inside rear driver side tire. After alerting us he advised where we could get it fixed and we were on our way in a hour. What luck firstly that he was able to spot it and also that he would take the time to follow and inform us. Could have been real trouble if it had blown in the Mountains.
