Driving to Lewiston, Idaho from Euclid, Ohio while making many stops is not an easy thing to do in just several days, but Salamanca and her grandparents manage to do just that. Lewiston, Idaho is a very important setting to the plot of Walk Two Moons. Many important things happened while going to Lewiston and while in Lewiston.
