Brownlee Dam to Baker City, OR - 82 miles
Wow, another blessed morning of Don's Diner, whipping up pancake after power packed pancake. Big day today... we have finally crossed into our final state... Oregon, wow! We could literally see Oregon from our campsite, right across the river.
We made the cross, and almost instaneously did Amanda, Daniella, and Kristen got flats. Apparently by the, "Welcome to Oregon" sign there were these plants with burrs in them that stuck into their tires. I dont know why the guys were lucky but it made for an interesting morning anyway. More incredible views today, from the mountains to the high plains, and back to the desert.
It was almost hard to appreciate the views of the day as our heads were drooped down over our handlebarbags trying to ignore the heat. I felt like a slug for the final 20 miles between the heat and the headwinds but I finally made it into Baker City.
A special thanks to Dustin's mom for sending a box of goodies, the chocolate chip cookies were awesome. We stayed at the Mtn. View Holiday Trav-L-Park por gradis, Thanks so much Carrie!! Man I love showeres at this point, feeling like I scrubbed off a year's worth of road grime.
