Day 5 funriding ...

We broke camp early , it was warmer than usual down by the snake river, nice area some place i'd like to come back too . headed south to Lewiston and had breakfast . We rode south along the snake river , wow lots of fishing for Salmon and sttelhead here , i wanted to stop and fish for the day but ... we headed up some steep canyon roads following along the snake river towards Hells canyon ! we had to cut inland and only seen 1 truck for the next 4 hrs. This area was nice , but it was cold , hit another pass and caught up to a cold front moving south ! Back too the heated vest and all the cloths again . Views form the canyon wall were incredible and a few snow squalls were around . We headed out onto some open country finally started to see some game , our 1st heard of elk about 20 in the herd running away from us. Earlier in the day we saw a few bighorn sheep on the otherside of the snake river on the indian reserve. We were in full on hunting season in Oregon , wow lots of hunters down this way ! We ended out comming out at Enterprise near Joseph ore. another nice area i'd like to see in the summer , out of the way but so beautiful . We wanted to get over the pass so we decided to try before it got too dark we found paved rd which took use over a 6000ft pass to a town called Halfway. Riding at night sucks, always worried about animals wlking out , but it is hunting season , so we did not see much , the rd was great super windy . Stayed in a hotel... too f*&%8king cold out too camp, we were frozen from the riding today , but it was so much fun !
