Thurday July 24th

Farming machinery boneyard as we were pulling out of Baker City.






Members of the Adventure Cycling tour coming east from Yorktown VA. The lady is from Oslo Norway and the gentleman is the tour guide from Adventure Cycling.



Walking bridge across the Powder river that accompanies us the entire way.





Bikers coming through Richland. Richland is aptly named as it is an oasis of green in such an arid climate due to significant irrigation. In this valley you can hear water running everywhere.


Just loved this notice - such an example of the small town work ethic:



Long climb out of Richland - gaining 1400 feet in 3.5 miles with average grade of 7 to 8% and some higher for short bursts.






Can any of you manufacturing types guess what lean manufacturing principal is being employed here?





Old style silo as you enter Halfway OR.


On to Cambridge in Idaho!!!!!

And finally please remember the cause -   soldiersbestfriend.org  I will go into this in more detail and perhaps some level of haranguing later on, but for now here is the link .... and an additional link for donation   SoldiersBestFriend - Donate Please :):)  As you donate please enter my name in the appropriate spot so the folks at SBF can tally the results to encourage me and let me know WE are getting something done TOGETHER. Oh and I would be a lot more comfortable if you use the "honorarium" option vs the "memoriam" option - you'll understand when you click on the link:):).     I will be inserting this call-to-action in all of my blogs so I hope you don't mind.
