We are going to stay in Pair-A-Dice RV-Park, in Creston, British Columbia. $26.71 gravel interior roads, FHU including cable. This is an OK RV Park.

A scenic drive on US 95 in extreme northern Idaho viewing grain, hay & hops fields.

Elmira Store

The Elmira Store is located in the small community of Elmira on US 95 north of Sandpoint, Idaho. We just loved the name.

Serious speed limit sign

I was driving our motorhome when we saw this 45-mph sign it was evident that they were serious. Four blinking lights! Needless to say I made sure that I was going 45 when we traversed this area.

Northern Idaho from US 95

This is typical scenery in this part of northern Idaho.

Extreme northern Idaho

We are now within one mile of the Canadian border.

Charmin plant..... Who knows this plants real name? Note the northern Idaho grain field

We had to stop and take a picture of this "Charmin" plant. By now you should recognize this as the plant that travelers on the Oregon Trail used for toilet paper because the leaves are "soft as Charmin". Besides this Charmin plant this northern Idaho valley is covered with grain from one side to the other.

Glacier carved mountain

This is a glacier carved mountain, they are fairly easy to recognize once you have seen a few.

Northern Idaho sign

As we reached the border we noticed a side road at the border station. We cut down that road looking for a way to get closer to the hops fields. There happened to be a country store on that road within just a few hundred feet of the border check point. This sign was outside that store. We can only imagine what a Pick'n & Chick'n party is.
