Cambridge, ID to Richland, OR

Mom trying to avoid riding into the bull
Wallowa Mtns. (I think)
Hell's Canyon
Oregon!! (i.e. the Promised land)

We finally had good weather as we started our day! After so much rain the past two weeks, and temperatures in the low 40s in Idaho, we are ready for good weather for the rest of the trip! Today was basically a day of climbing. Climbing to get over the pass to Hell's Canyon, climbing to get out of Hell's Canyon, climbing some more hills just in case we were enjoying mild terrain, and climbing the most painful climb of the day - some pass in between oxbow and Richland. We had originally thought perhaps we would stop in Oxbow, but decided to make it into Richland to try and make the next day a shorter day. We stopped for lunch in Oxbow and the guy at the restaurant made the comment "I knew you guys had to be either bikers or runners because of how big your thighs are." Hmmm...... I guess I'll take that as a compliment.
