Day 12 Mountain Home to Burley

Yesterday after posting my blog, I went down the street to dinner, and then walked over to the gorge to get some pix and see if it had gotten any cooler. I was able to get someone to take a picture of me by the rail above the gorge.





This morning the first thing we did as we started out was to head down into the gorge for a look at Shoshone Falls. The falls is a couple miles upriver from the town of Twin Falls. It was an awesome spectacle, even with the water at a low level due to upstream diversion of water for irrigation and power.




After a delightful and cool half hour above the falls, we headed back up the winding road out of the gorge and once again onto the flat. The riding was easy, except for
keeping on route with many transitions aimed at keeping us off of dead-end roads. The pictures for today will mostly look like this. Featureless and flat.



Today was a much shorter day than normal. In order to get us booked into motels, they sometimes need to have use do a shorter or longer day than usual. The longs ones are really tough. The short ones like today are almost like a "rolling day off". I got in before noon and went to lunch at a Mexican Restaurant with Ilkka, Kent, and Annie. I am really sleepy now and better finish before I falllllllllllaaassssssllleeeepppppaatttttthhheeeekkkeeeyybbooooarrrrd..............
