Thursday, June 30 -Swiftwater RV Park, White Bird, ID - 241.9 miles, 12,386.4 for the trip
I woke up this morning with the patter of rain on the roof. Luckily, it stopped by the time I finished breakfast. I did get my shower & laundry done yesterday afternoon, however it was at the Pizza place in Stanley. Although they did fix the water problem at Elk Mountain RV Resort, they wouldn't have hot water until morning & I wanted to get a somewhat early start.
The drive to White Bird, ID on ID 21, 24 & 55, and US 95 was wonderful. Almost the entire was spent driving along pretty mountain streams, filled to capacity (or more) with spring runoff. The second photo shows an interesting power generator. It is a funnel on a set of pontoons that feeds the river water through a turbine & generator. An interesting idea - I have no idea how much power it generates, but it would be useful for locations on fast moving streams. If you look closely, you can see they also had a solar panel...
I'm in Swiftwater RV Park, site 13, a well kept and very pleasant campground on the shore of the Salmon River. I highly recommend the campground, although you will have to find a way to get away from the owner - he likes to talk!
It is nice to see the "other" Salmon River. it is bigger than ours in Oswego with about 20 times the amount of flow, and at present, is full of rafters.

I lost an hour - I'm back in the Pacific time zone I have a steak & corn on the cob to cook for dinner - I probably should think about cooking.
Till Tomorrow -
