Today we drove from Grangeville North to the town of Kooskia where the Lewis & Clark Trail crosses from the Bitterroot Mountains towards the Cascades. We then continued West to the site of The Heart of the Monster (pictured on the left). It is a large rock outcropping whish is part of an ancient Nez Perce Indian legend. In this area Lewis & Clark stayed after barely surviving the trip over the Bitterroots. On their return trip, they again stayed in the area before returning to the East.
We continued in a circle back towards Grangeville. We stopped in the town of Cottonwood and went to the Historical Museum at St. Gertrude then visited the chapel at the Monastery of St. Gertrude. As we headed back to the RV the sky turned black and it poured. The sky was thick with clouds and we had quite a display of lightening. The storm quickly passed and within 2 hours we were sitting in the sunshine eating our dinner.
PS I took the picture on my cell phone. I am going to add a picture of the prairie to yesterday's post.
