Trip to Lewiston, Idaho last weekend

Bryan and I took a trip to Lewiston, ID last weekend.
Normally it would be a super gorgeous and scenic drive, but as you can see from a couple pictures that  I took below...the views were masked by the smoke from the ongoing fires burning out here.  The smoke has been getting worse and closer to us.  Air quality is terrible.  The locals are telling us that this has been the driest summer that they can ever remember.  We join them in praying for rain.

We drove down Lewiston Hill.
 
We walked the dogs along the snake river on some nice park paths.
 
We went through the Discovery Museum at Hell's Gate State Park, which gave detailed descriptions of Lewis & Clark's Expedition.
 
And on our drive home, we had the rare privilege of watching one of the fire fighting helicopters dip his water bucket in the Salmon River and fly back up over the mountain to continue fighting the fire.
Here are a couple pictures Bryan took.
 
 
MORE LATER.
Thanks for reading.
