Today was an easy ride that ended up losing 1000ft as I came along the Snake River further downstream. I also had multiple signs related to the Oregon Trail as apparently early pioneers were along the same route. Towards afternoon … Continue reading →
It is potato harvest time. I saw many “Spudnik” trucks heaped with potatoes and a few places they were harvesting. I also saw hay/clover trucks. My route today was a mix of rural roads, interstate frontage roads and crossing Twin … Continue reading →
