Sunday. Cambridge, Idaho to Halfway, OREGON!!!!!!!! 52 miles. Forecast was for hot, windy and chance of t-storms so left at 6:05am. The first 20 miles was a climb out of the weiser river valley to 4130 feet. Then a great cautious down hill to the snake river and hell’s canyon with a wonderful second breakfast halfway down. The landscape is still hilly but extremely dry as you can see in the pictures. We crossed the brownlee dam and entered Oregon our last state. We continued down the snake through hell’s canyon for twelve miles. Very, very hot. Andy kept us in water and even delivered popsicles. The climb out of hell’s canyon was a gradual 16 mile up hill to halfway where we’re staying in a very nice motel due to heat and probable storms.
