The tents....
Fog rolling down the mountain...
I had planned how to get to the IMBC, but I never gave much thought to getting home. Bob had suggested taking hwy 3 north from Enterprise.
Looking back south towards Enterprise, OR..
Thanks for the tip Bob... another ride through the "High Pasture"
Hwy 3 takes you past the Joseph Canyon Overlook.
After the overlook, the highway gets even more interesting. It runs down hill for many miles, There are a few 180 degree turns...
Once the road reaches the bottom, it crosses the Grande Ronde River.... Then climbs back up hill. I stopped at the bottom for a bottle of water.
I finally reached the top, Rattlesnake Summit.
3 became 129 once I crossed into Washington. I rode it all the way to Clarkston, WA. I got on US-12 and rode it all the way to Townsend, MT. I was thinking of camping tonight at the campground just outside of town, but there was no electricity and my netbook battery was low. I also didn't want another cold night inthe tent. I grabbed a room at the Mustang Hotel for $40.
I only took a few pictures along the way...
The sign at the west end of US-12 near hwy- 13.
Last year I saw old saw mill incinerators and didn't know what they were. Now I see these things... any ideas??
Be sure to zoom in on the are near the Oregon-Washington border.
