 An easy day today in central Idaho. We started off with a very nice late start at about 8:30 because we only had a 38 mile day. We are positioning ourselves at the last outpost before 86 miles tomorrow through what is described as some of the most remote and desolate country we will cross on the trip. But that is tomorrow.
Today with the late start we began the day with a visit to the Snake River gorge and Shoshone Falls, the Niagra of the west as they call it.

After the falls it was pretty barren with this scene pretty typical of the rest of the day. To alleviate the uneventful terrain we had a scavenger hunt and scavenged for various items such as road kill photos, a broken radiator belt, a blue flower, a coca-cola can, most unusual item, an Idaho quarter, a sprig of alfalfa, a church key, a used golf ball and other rare and unusual items.

  2. Don't like the "ghost" bicycle. Love your photos, though. Sue and Larry
