Coeur d' Alene, ID to Salmon, ID

As we left, there was still a lot of thunder heads, like Nancy called them, but it is not raining.  We drove along The Spokane River and through the beautiful mountains.

We just went out of North Idaho and into Montana on I 90.  Later we will go back into Central Idaho.

Nancy had told us this place was a nice place to visit, so we stopped for a little shopping.

Going through the Lost Trail Pass was a little nerve wrecking for me but a  beautiful ski area....

As we are going through the pass, the sky looks really dark over the mountains.

Looks like we are heading straight to bad weather but we did not get any rain, just a few sprinkles here and there.
