Now that you have seen Nez Perce reservation, a little bit of Idaho middle school history might be interesting: The Nez Perce land was in the La Grande/Wallowa area. Like all of the other indigenous tribes, the government decided to take their land from them and put them on a reservation. Chief Joseph took exception: Before they were moved to a reservation, he packed up his entire tribe and headed northeast for the Canadian border. There were several some skirmishes along the way, as the cavalry chased the Nez Perce (roughly following highway 12 beyond the Grangeville area). The most notable battle was on White Bird hill. The Nez Perce surrendered about 40 miles from the Canadian border. Chief Joseph is the prototype for many Hollywood movies. At the surrender he is reported to have said "I will fight no more forever" which has been paraphrased in hundreds of old cowboy and Indian movies. The Nez Perce people finally had some luck with the location of their reservation.
I have greatly enjoyed your journey from Seaside to Grangeville. First, it reminded me of living in a small community in eastern Oregon (at the western terminus of Highway 7) for 10 years, and vacationing on the Oregon coast, and with many trips to Baker. We then lived in Boise, ID for another dozen or so years; your trip from Baker to Grangeville went through areas that my parents drove all the time when we lived in Boise, ID. Alas, today you are leaving the areas that are our old stomping ground. It has been a great trip down memory lane. I look forward to the remainder of your trip.
ps. I have seen things that look like the raft in the river in Alaska. I was told that they were salmon traps??
