Tuesday
We have been trying to recover our energy over the last few days so that we could 'do' one of the great scenic drives, actually two scenic drives which run into each other. The First is the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and the second is State Highway 212, known as the Bear Tooth Highway which is an All American Road and includes the Bear Tooth Pass. From our campground that would be a drive of nearly 200 miles, though the actual scenic routes are about about 45 miles each.
The weather was beautiful, sunny and warm with very little wind. We arrived at the Chief Joseph road quite quickly and then cruised as gently as possible over the winding roads. It is very difficult to describe the variety of views that we had, but at every turn (and there were a lot of them) a new vista would open up, a sense of expectancy of the next view as we approached each crest in the road. At times we could look down on countryside as though we were in a plane rather than a car,
