Sikum

I took another spin to Lolo Pass today and a couple of quick pics coming back of the Woodman School west of Lolo and of the Nez Perce Sikum interpretive sign which sits below Lolo Peak (opposite the school). I've ridden by these so many times I take them for granted. The Woodman School has to be one of the more picturesque schools in the country, sitting quietly in the Lolo valley among irrigation systems, cattle and often elk. Sikum is the Nez Perce word for horse. I do love the Lolo drainage. I think some of the snowmobile rigs are getting used to me too.

It turned out to be a warm and beautiful day for a ride. I actually noticed a couple of guys trolling (with motor) the Bitterroot in a drift boat while casting spinners into the bank just below the Buckhouse Bridge. There were many fisherman on the bank as well. I thought for a moment I was in Orofino!
