I got up before anyone in the park sat on the river looking over at the Washington coast, and had Thai soup for breakfast. The reflections were beautiful. Took the tent down and headed out. Said good bye to one of the other bikers I talked to the night before and the couple I sat on the river with. He told me to be safe and have a great experience. I left as they were packing up their bike. Very fun couple.
I decided to head toward Oregon. No destination in mind.
I drove along the Columbia Gorge. Stopped and looked at some of the falls along the way. Took the scenic route out to the coast. Unable to locate a campsite I pulled into a rest stop and rested for a while. I headed back to Idaho. Saw signs for the John Day Fossil Beds so I stopped to check them out.
The scenic byway winds through the gorge climbing up switchbacks.
Waterfall along the Columbia Gorge.
The rock formations at John Day were stunning towering over the roadway. I headed back to Idaho taking a scenic route from John Day to Boise.
I drove around looking for the camps in a travel book I had with me, but no luck. I eventually found a place to stay in Jerome. I had a great night sleep.
