June 30 Day 11

Day 11 Oxbow to Evergreen campground along Weiser River Idaho:  75 miles

Woke at 3:15 am so we could be rolling with headlamps at 4 am.  Needed to get out of Hells Canyon and get out of the hotter than hell heat.  Quickly we made our way to Brownlee dam where we finally made our way into Idaho.  After feeling like spending many days in Oregon it was nice to finally get into state number 3.  After Brownlee dam worked our way around Brownlee reservoir then stared up the 4131 foot pass.  Road was quite and it was nice to be able to talk and ride at the same time.  At the summit we snacked then headed down the pass trying to avoid running over snakes in the road.  Soon we were in the rustic town of Cambridge where we had a good cup of coffee.  From Cambridge we had to get on highway 95 heading north and we were really disgusted with the traffic.  After a long stop in Council where we gulped orange juice and took advantage of the Internet access.  finally we finished the miles of the day to the USFS campground called Evergreen.  We essentially had the place to ourselves and more improtant it was nice and cool and great to be back in the mountains.
