From Lewiston I took the US-Route 12 towards Montana. This highway is just gorgeous but extremely lonely. One must be prepared to drive this route regarding of gas and food. Between Orofino/Idaho and Lolo/Montana ( 165 miles ) is nothing than big woods and wild rivers. This section is one of the most unpopulated areas in the US. Sometimes the only sign of life is a flyfisher standing in the river or a moose standing on the road. For me, just great, as we don't have such areas in Europe.
My next fire-station stop was in Lolo / Montana. Engine 351 from the Missoula Rural FD is this 2003 International 4400 with bodywork from Rosenbauer-Central. It has a 1250 gpm-pump and carries 750 gallons of water and 30 gallons of foam.
