No Thru Traffic

Yesterday was the first day of our tour and it went really well. We put on over 350 miles and took it pretty easy as we snaked through the gorge and some back roads to Wallowa Lake State Park. We definitely enjoyed the smaller roads way more than I-84 and will be avoiding interstates as much as possible from now on. I’m sure within the week we will be comfortable doing 400-500 mile days but will also stay at some of the bigger destinations for a couple days each.

This is how we should have traveled

We’re also working on a coordinated strategy to befriend people in camp enough to score some free food… Also if anyone is living somewhere close to where we are and wouldn’t mind letting us camp on their lawn, let us know!

My bike exploded my stuff all over the place

The bikes and our packing held up pretty well and we are already perfecting the organization of stuff.

Today our plan is to head north towards Heyburn State Park at Chatcolet Lake in Idaho and slowly make our way to Glacier National Park, which will serve as a good launching point to head either east or south.

Onward!
