The Webb We Weave: The Big Move, Part II - The second day of the trip

We woke up pretty early, Mama was pretty uncomfortable! I pulled out my trusty Smartphone to the Yelp App, as well as cross checking with the Urban Spoon app, which I LOVE, to find a highly rated restaurant in the area for some GREAT breakfast. The treasure we found was AMAZING, we went to The Garnet Cafe. We had to circle the block a few times to find somewhere to park our ridiculously long rig, but so glad we did! We got to the door and there were people waiting outside, and the list wasn't too long. Little did we know how few seats were inside so the wait took a while, but we figured with all the waiting from the locals and the incredible reviews it would be worth it... WE WERE SO RIGHT! (even though I was starving and getting a little testy so I was eating a bag of Doritos I had in my purse).

If you are ever in Coeur d'Alene SERIOUSLY go here! The menu was very unique, offering things like Crab, Avocado and Cream Cheese Omelets (which I had and was AMAZING!). Also they were very reasonably priced! It was so good that Jay and I joked perhaps this is all the further we would travel just to be able to eat there more!

After breakfast we hit the road. Part of this roadtrip is for us to take a little extra time to stop and see some things we had never seen. Although I went back to Sioux Falls to visit family quite a few times growing up, we never really had time to stop and see much, and we always just took I-90 the whole way. So we decided we were going to venture off the beaten path some, while still trying to make decent time getting back to So Dak. A special thanks to Jay's dad, John, who bought us an Atlas so we could find all these new, fun routes to explore! Neither of us had seen the Bitterroot National Forest, so that was on the agenda for the day! We continued East to Missoula, MT on I-90, then South onto US-93.

The Bitterroot Mountians are a part of the Northern Rockies. We drove through the Bitterroot Valley which is part of the Lewis and Clark Trail , that runs along the Idaho/Montana border. I wanted to stop and read EVERYTHING... but had we done that we would still be there! Here a few of my favorite facts that we collected along the way:

The communications between Lewis & Clark and the local natives had to go through FIVE translations! Can you imagine how long just introductions and pleasantries must have taken!
