This morning, we awoke to the sunrise--another beautiful day.
We tore down camp and left to finish the climb to Winchester. Later in the day, we found great beauty in some country roads that were encapsulated with unripened wheat fields flowing in the strong wind as if waves in the ocean.
While moving through these fields, we were booking it thanks to a strong tail wind, and gradually declining altitude. We note that Idaho's description of its roads that are in "rough" condition would not warrant any mention back east. When we hit a strong descent into Kamiah, where we are overnighting at the Lewis and Clark Resort, we again found ourselves riding the brakes for miles. Supper at the Pizza Factory (“we toss ‘em, they’re awesome”) is providing a restocking of needed carbs and calories.

Weeeeeeeeee! That is just BEAUTIFUL. I made that sunset photo my desktop image, I love it, I am just so jealous of your adventure! Can't wait till you get to Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteTo the mountaineers and explorers - you are doing great and we are all enjoying. Lewis and Clark left Fort Clatsop (near Seaside) in March 1806 to go home. They went up the Columbia to WallaWalla, Waitsburg, Dayton, Pameroy, Snake River (May 4) and Kamiah, ID (May 14). You are following their footsteps. Ride safe - Chuck
