Seriously : ‘ Lewiston is just across the Snake River from Clarkston. Geddit? Lewiston and Clarkston.’

Wow beautiful!

Well the French, la pelouse, une pelouse (as opposed to palouse) translated to English

would be - the lawn, a lawn. A short tight grassy area.

I'd go with the likely longer standing name of one of the tribes, Sahaptin-speaking groups (Palus band) living on the river.

Got to love Wikipedia contributors

Great you had a milder covid infection seems it is getting that way now.

Hopefully you won't have those difficulties with chargers everywhere. Having to rent a gas vehicle sort of defeats the whole idea.

Happy travels!

Glad you've recovered completely!

The slow and inefficient rollout of charging stations is happening everywhere, it seems.

Big history around the Nez Perce Nation and their resistance to being forced off their traditional land. Hard not to see why.

Then we look forward to seeing you again! Safe travels. Sad charging tale. Western Washington & Eastern Washington are so different aren’t they? There was talk about the east being more like Idaho.

So glad you are better! Really sorry we couldn’t hang out.

Palouse sounds like grass in French and the tribe Pierced Nose?? Didn’t know there were any French incursions there. Jacques will be curious.

WA, ID, WY, and MT are all amazingly beautiful.

As for the chargers, I'm guessing if you stick to the Interstates there's better "service"? Which if that's the case is problematic, because if one truly wants to see the beauty of America, it's best done off the Interstates in my experience.
