20-Aug-2026 -- Another vacation - another confluence point. My wife and I were happy to visit her sister and husband in Orofino, Idaho and educate them about CPs. I surveyed the options in the area and decided the “easiest” would be 47N 117W, about an hour drive from the house. Previous visits described open field walking. From Orofino, we drove a picturesque trip on country roads through Moscow, ID (home of Univ. of Idaho and where we had lunch at Jack Jacks Diner). Then continuing north on Highway 95, the main turnoff was at Freeze Road going west. A few more turns through rolling farmland got us to Garfield road which enters a farm from the south. We stopped at the farmhouse to introduce ourselves. The lady was a bit suspicious and skeptical about what we were up to. She explained her son was the owner/farmer but he was not at the house. She finally relented and said we could park here but would have to walk into the field to see the point. The ladies stayed in the car, in the shady side of the barn. It was 100 degrees out and we had arrived about 4:00 p.m. My brother-in-law, Lee Haslett, began the trek, made it halfway and turned back. The CP was almost due north from the house and the small dirt road ran out quickly. We could follow random tractor paths to keep from tromping through the fields. I had envisioned easy walking through stubble wheat fields so I had worn shorts. There were some rapeseed fields that were waist high and impassable. Also chickpea fields that were knee high and easier to walk through but very scratchy. Aside from the difficult walking the CP was easy to find and yielded a beautiful vista. The 45 minute walk back to the car was an adventure. I didn’t pay close attention the compass when heading back south. I veered west and hit a road about a half mile from the farm house. Along the way, I stepped in a muddy creek and fell into a small ravine. On the drive home, we were rewarded with a stunning sunset due to forest fire smoke in the air.
