Deep in the Idaho woods

We’ve seen a lot of places.  Unique places, like the top of Mombacho volcano in Nicaragua, the clean sparkling streets of Tokyo, or Monument Valley in Arizona.  But we have never seen anything like this.  Huge golden wheat fields that literally butt up to heavily forested mountains.  But there is a reason this looks weird - it is because they dammed the river and drained the valley to create “The Nile of the North”.  

We also took a tour of the Kootani National Wildlife Refuge.  It is a 2,774 acre swampy area set aside primarily for water fowl, but also has deer, grizzly bear, and moose.  It was well worth the trip!

We also popped over to Montana (five minutes from our campground) and giggled at the phone booth.  Time has not moved as fast up here.
