| S and the maelstrom |
Heavy rain this morning in Twin Falls so after the complimentary breakfast we drove up river on the Snake's south shore to Shoeshone Falls. Who would have thought looking down from the Elevation 487 bar for the last two years that there was such a maelstrom just up around the bend. Maelstrom! I could hardly make myself go out on the viewing platform for the photos.
Anyway we got out of there quickly enough to motor through sun and rain to the Oregon Trail museum in Baker, Oregon for the historic info and the bike ride along the Trail to what appeared to be a training area for those little four wheeled personal transporters. There was a guy in forest service attire lecturing a squad of people on the things preparing to rip up and down the hills of the facility; I would have waited to see them do their lesson but S took off back up the long grade to the car and sandwiches and FOMO off I went as well. Ran into the heaviest rain and wind of the last six weeks on the last mile into Pentleton to the Oxford Suites; you get a couch, free soup and salad and alcohol and then free breakfast plus there was an indoor pool and hot tub and cookies.
Many were lost
they wished the oregon trail looked like this
rain to the east
