The Swiss Alps of Oregon at Wallowa Lake found us confronted with snow. We way laid over several days for the weather system to pass through an incredible mountain resort area of eastern Oregon. Hot toddies helped to keep us warm. It was a good respite. Prior to the snowfall, we’ve enjoyed blue sunny skies while driving passed lovely alpine meadows and farmland pastures with grazing cattle, horses, and sheep. We find a whole new definition of the phrase, ”quality of life” here. It is obvious spring is in the air with the abundance of wildflowers in bloom. Birds and their fledglings seem to be out and about everywhere. Wildlife continues to keep our interest peaked for special Kodak moments. Relaxing at an RV Park in Sandpoint (a recreational area alongside Lake Pend Oreille) just north of Coeur d’Alene in Idaho has provided for some time to enjoy an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna. The journey traveling the Top 10 Scenic Drives from Washington, Idaho, and Montana is enabling us to retrace segments of history and see much of the land as Lewis and Clark did: rugged, awesome, beautiful.
