Dry Falls(part of)

A travel day, but one that didn't start at the crack of dawn...actually it was almost 9 before we moved on.  Had lunch on the Idaho/Montana line at Exit 0(ZERO)  Ever see one of those?  I didn't.  Lots of dead trees.  Seems there is a blight on the type of pine here.  Between the blight and old fire damage there is lots of tinder out there.  Just north of Grand Coulee the mountains even out to "West Virginia level"  and there was a patchwork of wheat, ripe and ripening and already plowed up.  We came to I-90 in Spokane which is pronouced as spo-can.  Came across Idaho to Missoula. Our reference book said there was a WalMart here, but turns out it was WAY out of the way.  However, they filled our Rx refills so all is well on that score.  Missoula is a city set in the valley with dry hills all around. Tonight we plan the next leg of our trip. Have been keeping an eye on the weather and it appears we can't miss the heat no matter which way we go.  We have several options.....guess that is the next chapter.  Here are the photos from yesterday.
