Worley, Idaho

KM = 656

Today was as close as you can get to a PERFECT motorcycling day. The temp. ranged from 12C to 30.5C with most of the day in the mid 20s. There was no wind (the windmills in the Columbia River wind corridor were stationary). There was a high scattered cloud cover to reduce the glare. We rode highway 395 through Oregon (including the famed Ukiah-Dale scenic corridor) and it was wonderful as usual. This was further topped off by a ride through the curvy highways of the Palouse country of SE Washington, one of our favourite areas and it was all new pavement to boot!

Saw some interesting sights today:

1. A crop dusting helicopter flying very low.
2. All trucks in Central Oregon come equipped with at least one dog loose in the back.
3. A couple of the good ‘ol boys in Plummer, ID loved Raindancer: “Sure is quieter than them durn noisy Harleys”. Of course they were all liquored up and at the general store looking for more.
4. Vultures feasting on road kill.
5. Numerous motorcycles out enjoying the day.
6. Some pretty full creeks and rivers including water nearly running onto the road at the bridge just outside of Burns.

Our latest adventure is coming to a close as we will be heading home tomorrow. Tonight we are at the Coeur d'alene Casino.
