Saw our first snake.  We're guessing it was 4' long.  We came across it close to where we dump leaves and pine needles.  Not a rattle snake.  It took off when we tried to get a closer look

 Cathy, helping to clear some road debris when investigating this road for a report of a pile of animal bones (never found).  We saw the snake on the way back.

Dent bridge taken from the rangers boat during a ride along.  We travel across this bridge every time we come and go.

 The Carlson "compound" at Dent Acres Campground.

 At two of the main streets in Orofino it's best to take a flag to walk across the street.  Apparently there has been some close calls in the past.  This cheap but effective idea was instituted by the police chief here.

Here is Cathy demonstrating the "proper" use of the flag.  That's the US Post office across the street.  After we took this picture we noticed that we had also stopped all traffic on Michigan Ave.

 We were told that this was a prescribed burn.  It's about 6-7 miles from us.

 
 Two views of  Dworshak Dam.  The water runoff was very impressive and sounded very powerful.

Saw this really cool Royal Infield bike with sidecar at the local city park .  We stopped to check out a community garage sale going on.  Of course we found some bargins at the sale too.  This bike was NFS.

Although this 25+ inch monster rainbow trout was caught by another camper.  They didn't want it!  This trout was part of our dinner yesterday.  Another camper gave us Elk sausage (spicy good) and Elk flank steak.  WOW!

Yeah, baby.........  What did you do on your time off?  Wild trout was gooooood eatin!  However, the reality is that our out of state fishing license fees were $98 each.  So, that's a $200 fish your looking at.  We hope to catch many, many more.  There is 54 miles of water ways attached to this campground.  Wow.

Here's the Dent Bridge and some shots from our campsite.  Rainy, cold and wet on our first few days.  AND lots and lots of deer hang out.
