Happy 4th of July!

Waiting for the fireworks.

The train tracks were a bit higher than the field so they were the best view of the show. It was a great show! We were pleasantly surprised.




Ice Cream for dinner

Some of the best of the trip so far. Augie’s in Orofino!



Swimming in the Dworshak reservoir

It was hot and we needed to cool off. This is a nice swimming hole!

Sam was the motor and Ethan got to ride.


He said that she didn’t have much power, but a lot of torque.







The Dent Bridge

The tallest and longest bridge in Idaho. It crosses the Dworshak reservoir about 15 miles up from the dam.

The Dworshak Dam


The Gallery- a 3/4 mile hallway that runs the length of the dam.


Looking over at the river (the downside of the dam).


The crack in the dam. The wet spot at the bottom is a crack from 1980. They plugged it with a concrete slurry and put a pipe through to relieve the pressure on the weak spot. It’s held for 40 years and they don’t seem concerned. 


Reservoir on the left.


River on the right.


We walked along the top of the dam.
