Wednesday we drove south to Clarkston, then turned east and drove into Idaho to visit the Nez Perce National Historical Park and learn a little about the Nez Perce tribe and life under the Indian Agency.
After the kids earned their Junior Ranger badges we headed back east to Lewiston, and spent the night at the Hells Gate State Park campground next to the Snake River.
From there we continued southwest to Bend, stopping at the Whitman Mission National Historic Site to earn one more badge. The kids learned about the Whitmans, their role in establishing the Oregon Trail, and how they were killed by an angry native tribe.
