You topped-off the 44-gallon* tanks at Lemhi County Airport in the heart of Idaho. Climbing fast, you take in an eagle's view of the trail taken by Lewis and Clark over two hundred years ago, and you see immediately how the geography drew them to choose that route.

You come in steep and slow. Touching down, you're again amazed at the shock-absorption and control afforded by Tundra tires and heavy-duty tail wheel.
