A short drive along the Salmon River. Beautiful mountain scenery. A near-deer encounter: spotted a buck about 100 yards away running toward the highway from my left on a collision course. My instinct told me I had a better chance of passing ahead of him, so I sped up. He turned abruptly to his left just as he reached the road. Close call.
Stopped at Sacagawea Center in the town of Salmon. Good information about her life and the Lewis and Clark expedition, which passed here on the way west in 1805. Also info about her descendants to the present, and their tribe. Continuing south, finally left the Lewis and Clark route.
Reached our campground early afternoon. Site is right on the Salmon River. Several people told us it was OK for a canoe, but what we could see was too shallow and rough, so we passed on that. A warm afternoon reading in the shade of a cottonwood tree.
