We awakened refreshed and ready to start off.  After breakfast, we took a couple of pictures on the porch, said good-bye to the cat, and were on our way.

Before leaving Walla Walla, we stopped in at the Canoe Ridge Winery to sample some Merlot.  Then, it was back on the highway.

Most of the day we spend driving across the rest of Washington, through Idaho, and into Montana.  We won't bore you with all the details, but we'll share some of the moments.

	A few of the cars we were trapped behind on highway 12.
Pictures of our feet from when we got really bored.
	Food and drink that sustained us.
One of many signs along the Lewis and Clark trail.

Believe it or not, there are many more pictures from that drive.  One of the big cons of a digital camera is that you can take pictures and never waste film.  But we got to an interesting stop, the Jerry Johnson Hot Springs, just on the Idaho/Montana border.

Finally, we reached Montana, and our hotel at the scenic Fort Lolo Hot Springs.  Kira couldn't wait to get there and relax with a hot bath and a great meal.  

However, to our dismay, the lodgings at Fort Lolo made Woodward Canyon look good.  We pulled in, checked out the room, and in literally 10 minutes we had left.  Here's a play by play...

We arrive at Fort Lolo, tired, excited, and ready for a hot bath and a great meal.
	We quickly realize that the hot springs and resort have been oversold in the brochure.
We get into the room and call the Holiday Inn in Missoula.  They can take us.
	10 minutes later we are back in the car and on the road.
Finally, 16 hours after we left Walla Walla, we check in to the Missoula Holiday Inn.
