A drive from Kamiah to Nezperce then south to Grangeville through the heart of the Camas Prairie

June 23, 2007.

We are staying at Mountain View MH & RV Park in Grangeville. It is a Passport America Park $14 for FHU, cable & wifi. It isn't a resort but we had shade and a nice large site in a clean environment 208-983-2328. If you are looking for a "Resort" Christmas tree RV-Resort is on US 95 less than a mile from the middle of town.

Bright yellow canola field in the Camas Valley of western Idaho

After visiting Nezperce we headed back to Grangeville on SR 162. As we reach the city limit sign this beautiful field of yellow canola came into view.

That may have been our first introduction to canola but it wasn't to be our last. In this area is seems like every third field is planted in canola.

Canola is big business here in the Camas Prairie of western Idaho.

The bright yellow canola fields are stunning beautifully as we drive through the huge Camas Prairie of western Idaho around Nezperce.

We see no irrigation but do not understand why this field is so lush while the surrounding ground is brown and not nearly so lush.
