Pictures are scarce because unfortunately, I'm usually driving. It's difficult (not to mention dangerous) to take pictures and drive at the same time. (No kidding!) I've tried to get others in the car to take pictures for me, but ... (Let's not go there.) Several pictures that I thought I took are nowhere to be found. I *hate* my camera because it is so slow! I think it has snapped the picture, but it really hasn't. By then we're clear past what I wanted a picture of.








Taken from my cousin's front yard. That is the North Platte River at the top of the white fence. From these views you can't tell it is flooding or how wide it is. The old timers said it has been about 60 years since the water has been this high. The other pictures of the river are missing. The bottom picture was taken after the water level had dropped some. Notice how close the water is to the bottom of the bridge. The only times I had ever seen this river was when it was so low we could wade across it.
More pictures another day. I was in Lewiston today. I have to go back tomorrow and will be there at least through Thursday. This time Mom and I will stay all night. I think I could drive this route with my eyes shut...

It's so pretty up there!
Fabulous pictures. I've always wanted to see Idaho and Montana and a few of those other states up in the northern tier that I haven't been too. I've been to 33 states, but those are a couple I'm missing.
I have a very small vivitar I can operate with one hand. I just roll down the window and hold the camera pointing "out" at a straight arm length. I've done video like that.
I don't take in traffic!!! But on a few roadtrips up to Sacramento, once I get over the grapevine north of LA and the road's straight for the next 200 or so miles, then I can snap away to my heart's content.
