The weather improved as we hit Boise. We actually took off some layers
for the first time. Bright sun but the key word was windy. We took the
interstate (82) to Pendleton, Oregon. We were going to go north
through Idaho but changed our plan out of redpect for the weather.
82 from Boise to the Oregon state line is just OK. The fight against
the wind at highway speeds was brutal. 82 in Oregon, on the other
hand is beautiful. Farmland with mountains in the background. The road
itself runs over two passes and the Blue Mountains. The foothils are
steeply chiseled to the edge of the road and the angles cast the
continuos felt like ground cover into a hundred shades of green. When
not climbing and descending in tight motorcycle, friendly twisties,
the road follows a number of rivers; its curves tight up against the
lazy bends in the water. A very pleasant ride. Tomorrow the end run to
Seattle.
