Got up and headed towards Joseph. Last year I was directed to the Cheyenne Cafe and the food and staff ar excellent. So I came back again when his year. This is a great place to eat before you head into Hells Canyon.




Real food!!

 

Old Chief Joseph's resting place.

 

Now ....Into The Wild ....

 

You are a lucky man. If I ever get the time I'd love to do even a few of those roads. Safe travels.

 

The blue dot was where I started this morning in Joseph. You head south east through Hells Canyon and then west to Baker City, which is where I am tonight.

 

A beautiful sunny day, cool in the morning but warmed up nicely. It was a slow ridding day with lots of stops. I will let the pictures tell the story. ....

There is a big parking lot about 15 miles in. Must be for Snowmobiles



One of the few straight pieces of road

Not just twigs you need to watch out for



Lots and lots of this
