We woke up to a dry day. Since the weather last night had been so iffy that was a nice surprise. We rode our bikes 8 miles to John Day for breakfast. The picture is of Ron enjoying all you can eat pancakes. We then started our journey of 3 mountain passes. Each were over 5000 feet. the weather changed often. We had rain, hail, wind, and sometimes sunshine. We had to stop often to put rain clothes on or take them off. We rode an extra long day because motels were not available anywhere close and it will be a rainy night. 10 hours of riding is more than we want to do again. We have ridden over 350 miles in 6 days. We are due for a rest day which we will take in Baker City. That is only about 28 miles away.
One picture is from yesterday, we had to stop for a cattle drive in the road.

It is not a surprise that you woke to a dry day for me. I know how to talk to the creator of the rain! You are in my prayers daily. What wonderful country you are seeing and experiencing like so few of us will ever do or every dream of doing.
I need a visual of where you are going so I took the towns and put it into Rand McNally. Here is what it looks like so far ...(if you can see it on your mobile device that is)
