June 22. Tuesday. Helena MT. to Lewiston ID. 344 miles.
Done with Montana back roads. Off West and South to Shasta. Hot day. About 100 in Lewiston.
Did the Lolo Pass Route west bound. Hwy 12. Spectacular 100 miles of winding roads always by the Lochsa River
and the Clearwater River closer to Lewiston. Lots of river views. Highly recommended.

This is sooooo awesome!

The photos are terrific, and I've fished many of the rivers you've driven by. So I daydream about cruising those roads in my car someday – fly rod waving out the back of the car.

Have a blast, stay safe, keep 'em coming.
