On the road through Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada

On the latest US dollar, the gold colored ones, is an engraving of Sacajawea, a guide for Lewis and Clark. On her back is her child, Charboneau. As we left Jordon Valley, OR, and drove above the ranch pastures and out onto the sage brush hills we passed Charboneau's burial site. He had swam the Owyhee River, caught a cold, and died at a nearby stagecoach station of pneumonia, quite a long way from Lolo Pass in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho.
