#1 On the road to Newfoundland 2019

 #1   On the Road:

Newfoundland here we come!  The drive across Washington to Idaho felt like Déjà Vu from our start last year!  The 2018 itinerary took us across Canada from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. The 2019 itinerary follows I-90 across the states to Boston and then north to Nova Scotia.

The Columbia River crossing at Vantage, WA remains as impressive as always

We spent the first night in Moses Lake.  Day 2 we traveled across Northern Idaho to St. Regis, Montana.

The Coeur d’Alene lake area looks like a fun destination spot, although we generally just drive through.  The huge lake follows the highway for miles. 

A walking/biking trail also follows the lake.

Beyond the lake the climb begins into the Rocky Mountains. 

                                                                                       Hello Montana

Lookout Pass sits at an elevation of 4,725 feet.  We were pleased that this motorhome can climb with ease.  Chain-up zones for snow show up frequently throughout the day.

The Clark Fork River meanders back and forth across I-90 a multitude of time.  It flows through the Idaho panhandle and into Montana.  Lovely homes are perched overlooking its bank.

Big Sky Country is an apt name for Montana!  The wide highway surrounded by tree covered hills and some snow-capped mountains accentuate the largeness of the sky.

 Ranches dot the landscape.  Horses, cattle and some sheep graze in sprawling pastures.  Small towns pop up here and there to provide the needed services of the rural communities.

The speed limit speaks for itself.
