Very cold to start the day.
Stopped for breakfast at 6:30 but the restaurant didn't open until
7:00. They opened it up early for us. Strong headwind through the
canyon at first then the day turned beautiful and warmed up. Stopped
for lunch in Jackson and stopped for the night at Signal Mountain
Campground. 52 miles for the day. |

Harmon left today, back being self
contained.Very hot - 95 degrees so stayed at a motel.
The owner of the motel drove them to a restaurant and the waitress
drove them back to the motel. Very hard to get a beer after riding
as you can only buy it in a bar or a state liquor store. |

Hot! No real place to
camp as Hiland has only a bar and a gas station. Camped there anyway
(with permission). Great music and plenty of
fun at the bar that night. Frozen burritos were the only
thing available for dinner. |

Hot again with a tailwind. The city furnishes a campground
for free with hot showers right on the river. Interviewed
by the Douglas Budget newspaper. |

Hot-Humid with a headwind & some strong climbing. Had
to take showers at the city pool since the town well was out and
only the toilets were working. Went into a bar for a beer and the
owner bought a round. Ran out of water with about 20 miles left
in the days ride and knocked on a farmhouse door. He let them fill
their water bottles and spent some time talking - nice visit. |

Hi Guys,
Just had to say hello, following your progress avidly. I did
the Togwotee pass last month, Have you been thru Yellowstone yet?
It all sounds so familiar. Take care, have fun,
Love, Dorothy

Hi gals,
Your picture in the Baker City Times looks great. It seems you're
meeting a lot of friendly people. Keeping track of you shortens
the distance between you and the SLOBS in SLO County. You won't
be strangers by the time you get back here. Good luck and keep
up the good work!
