This crossed into three new counties but collectively they covered an oversized blank space on my map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also covered nearly the entire perimeter of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nezperce.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nez Perce Tribe<\/a> reservation. By various 19th Century treaties, the U.S. government corralled the Nez Perce onto ever smaller parcels of their ancestral homeland. Eventually it was whittled down to the current 1,200 square miles east of Lewiston. However, the Nez Perce have little direct control control of their own reservation today. Non-natives own a disproportionate amount of land because the U.S. government opened the reservation to general settlement in 1895. Now only the town of <a href=\"https:\/\/cityoflapwai.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lapwai<\/a> (the &#8220;place of butterflies&#8221;) remains majority native.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clearwater County<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/54019587516\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54019587516_b8b5ac21a7_b.jpg\" alt=\"Canoe Camp; Ahsahka, Idaho.

This was by far the most scenic portion of the drive, sidewinding through a forested river canyon for many miles. Eventually I crossed into Clearwater County and then I visited Lewis and Clark&#8217;s Canoe Camp (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Gu9EXDqAxcjSeY8Q8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The famous explorers stopped at Canoe Camp on the outbound portion of their expedition to the Pacific Ocean on <a href=\"https:\/\/lewis-clark.org\/day-by-day\/26-sep-1805\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">September 26, 1805<\/a>. They chose a spot across the river from Ahsahka, a Nez Perce village. Here they remained for twelve days as they worked with the Nez Perce to craft dugout canoes from local Ponderosa pines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearwater County was certainly a nice prize but I was about to grab something much more considerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Idaho County<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/54018689057\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54018689057_11355ecb19_b.jpg\" alt=\"Camas Prairie; Dryden, Idaho. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Idaho County covers more territory than any other county in the state. This single county is larger than the states of Rhode Island, Delaware, and Connecticut. It is only slightly smaller than New Jersey so this was a huge win for me. I merely had to clip a corner of this humongous county to fill a big chunk of map. And I did. Well, I probably drove a good fifteen miles through Idaho County so I don&#8217;t feel like it was one of my usual dash and grabs. Nonetheless, even that distance barely registered within the reach of its massive scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stopped at a roadside marker describing the Camas Prairie, where I was driving, apparently (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/ecw6JPZt8j2de33j6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). I saw nothing but recently harvested wheat fields in every direction but historically this was a vast, open prairie. Camas derived its name from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Camassia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camassia<\/a>, a perennial plant related to asparagus, native to the area. Indigenous people cultivated Camas bulbs as one of their staple foods before people of European descent flooded the area. The Nez Perce Tribe and their ancestors harvested these plants for thousands of years until then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lewis County<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/54019922124\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54019922124_d9eb19aa26_b.jpg\" alt=\"Railroad Trestles; Lewis, Idaho. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I turned onto U.S. Route 95 and headed back towards Lewiston, finally returning to a high-speed roadway. Before long I crossed into Lewis County. Incidentally, Lewiston is not in Lewis County, it&#8217;s in Nez Perce County. Conversely the city of Nez Perce isn&#8217;t in Nez  Perce County, it&#8217;s in Lewis County. I can&#8217;t explain it but it amused me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I could explain the impressive railroad trestle because an historical marker told the story (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/PUeBzwe2Ydwh2LNp7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). There used to be a bunch of trestles through these hills, part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Camas_Prairie_Railroad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camas Prairie Railroad<\/a> that once transported grain and timber. The railroad opened about 1908 and operated for much of the 20th Century. Unfortunately the successor railroad dismantled many of the trestles after it abandoned the route. But this one still remains, probably because it sits at a scenic spot along the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nez Perce National Historical Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/54019816668\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54019816668_391bcb8f75_b.jpg\" alt=\"Nez Perce National Historical Park.

The visitor center for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/nepe\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nez Perce National Historical Park<\/a> was right there too, so I figured I might as well stop for it (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/3vNMS1axFivvGRQC7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). The park is not contiguous, it includes sites spread over a wide geographic area (including Canoe Camp). However, the visitor center ties everything together and serves as an introduction to the rest. It&#8217;s worth a brief detour even though we covered everything in the museum pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Groundwork Brewing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/54023328810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54023328810_c2ea394e58_b.jpg\" alt=\"Groundwork Brewing; Lewiston, Idaho.

There were still a couple of brewery options available and we selected <a href=\"https:\/\/groundworkbrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Groundwork Brewing<\/a> this time. They had a pizza oven on their outdoor patio and it seemed like a great choice to finish the day.
