| Then,
heading up the Old Lewiston Grade, this junkyard greeted me. Top of 2005 trip Next Complete with what looked like an old hippy bus at the end of it's days. Got Ink? It sadly proclaimed. Once proudly displaying "splatter dashed" sides. Must have been a community effort. Motorized vehicle as a palate of art, but now awaiting its demise. Maybe the transmission went. In background is the Potlatch Pulp Mill. On up Lewiston Grade was a more inspiring site. Water Trough Glen. When my parents used to drive up the grade, they had to cool their old car at a spring. Now this site has been restored by volunteers. A nice wayside park. Old Spiral Highway is popular for cyclists. There is a new, "more pragmatic" highway to the east that most cars and trucks use. Both Highways bring one from around 800 feet to well over 2,000 feet. Quite a hill climb. |
