Bob, Brenda & their two dogs left early yesterday morning for their drive back home to Albany, OR. It was good to spend time with them, and perhaps, on our return trip south from Alaska, we'll have an opportunity to see them again.
Our adventure for the day, was a ride out toward Hells Canyon, where an overlook provides a great view of the deepest canyon in North America. At a mile & a half deep, it's over a third deeper than the Grand Canyon. In fact, from the viewpoint, the canyon is so deep, you can't see the Snake River at the bottom.
It was a nice drive through the forest, and at one point on the return trip, an Elk cow with her calf were in view for a few seconds. We stopped in Joseph for lunch, then returned to Bob & Diana's for the rest of the afternoon.
Oh No!........ SNOW! I took this picture at a little after 5am, and as pretty as the snow covered landscape is, it wasn't at the top of my list of things to see this morning. According to the weather report yesterday, we knew the temps were going to drop last night, but the white stuff wasn't on anybody's radar. Oh well, we were only planning on traveling about 100 miles today, so we'll wait till about mid day, and by then, the roads should be OK. Stay tuned..............
Isn't it crazy? Snow in June. We live near Portland and it was really cold here this a.m. but thankfully no snow.
