It was a perfect day for a trip to Costco, located in Clarkston, Washington, across the Snake river from Lewiston, Idaho...For the past 48 years we have made regular trips to that area for shopping in larger stores than we have here in Wallowa, County...In the 70's we went for school clothes and Christmas gifts and some groceries...There was a Penny's, Bon Marche, Pay Less, Kmart, Great Western and pizza restaurants and Issy's for giant hamburgers....Now most of those places are no more, instead we go to Winco, for bulk items, and Costco, usually bypass WalMart and eat at Tomato Brothers...It is always a full day as we leave at daylight and get home at dusk.
It is a 2 plus hour drive on winding roads, as we go north to Buford grade and down to the Grande Ronde River, in Washington...Then climb up Rattle Snake grade topping out at Anatone before dropping down into the Clarkston/Lewiston Valley and the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers...The day was warm, no rain/snow, roads were perfect...Some people hate this drive, but I always enjoy the curvy road and ever-changing terrain...Pam does the driving for us or we probably wouldn't be making this trip!...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
