We had been corresponding with a couple in Victor ID who have a Siberian Tiger vehicle on order. This is the much larger cousin of our little Tiger. They had a standing invitation to visit them if we passed that way so we decided to take them up on it.
Enroute to Victor we were driving down the Sacajawea Highway in Idaho. It turns out that Sacajawea was from the area that is now Salmon, so there is a great deal about her in the area.
Outside of the town we saw signs for the Lewis and Clark Scenic Backcountry Highway. Ron was nervous about the state of the road due to all of the storms the night before, but Ton said that the BLM and Park Service always exaggerate how tough things are, and we could always turn around if it looked bad. The byway is a 38 mile gravel route to Lemhi pass where the Lewis and Clark Party crossed the continental divide. It turns out Ton was right and the road was a well graveled road suitable for logging trucks.
When we arrived at Victor not wanting to arrive with empty hands we stopped at Teton Brewing to pick up a growler. The beer is good and growlers are cheap if you are in the area.
We enjoyed good conversation, excellent Pizza and Beer. Thanks Ron and Gabi for your hospitality.
