For quite some time I’ve wanted to visit the Lochsa River area, a scenic drive between Lewiston, Idaho and Missoula, Montana. As part of a loop including other river valleys such as the Salmon and Clearwater, it’s more than could easily be accessed on a weekend. As a result, despite living in Idaho for many years, I’d never gotten around to it. This past fourth of July, I took some time to roam around there.
When I set out to explore a new route, town, country, regions, I like to first construct a mental image. Ask myself: what will the terrain be like? What sorts of small towns will be along this route? How will the fishing be? What draws people to live in that area? How do they get by?
Turns out, pretty well
