Ok, this is going to be a little snippet from another perspective.
Hillard here, ready to tell the day’s events.
Since yesterday’s post we discovered that safety cones aren’t really that safe! During our run from Lolo Pass to Lewiston, Idaho I decided to do a little leaning in a few of the turns…getting closer and closer to the cones in a construction zone (it was one of those zones where nobody is ever there).
Well, I swiped one of the cones with my front left saddle-bag and knocked it over on it side. At our next stop I decided to check in the bag to see if there was anything fragile in there. Somehow, someway…by just glancing of this soft plastic cone, I wound up rendering my camera useless…and in need of replacement. Now I just need to convince my wife that a bear ate it 
[picture coming soon]
As for today’s activities? Well…rain / sleet / more rain / larger sleet and then lows in the 30′s towards the upper elevations. This is JUNE right?
We started the day in the rain with a flat rear tire to greet me in the parking lot….fun! Once repaired, we ran for a quick jaunt into Washington state and then headed south towards Hell’s Canyon located in Oregon. In Hell’s Canyon is where we encountered “some” of the coldest temps combined with strong winds. My mother always used to tell me that some things would only happen when hell froze over…well?
Seeing some of the best roads thus far on the trip and crossing time zones repeatedly to the point of losing track…it was a very nice day, topped off with a great night to camp and a big-ole campfire.
Only 350 miles today but they were nice miles and we will sleep well.
I only hope there’s enough fuel in my tank to make it out of this forest…
Things always happen to Hillard!
g-night.
