Day 12: Idaho Falls to Burley, ID

We passed two waterfalls as we followed the Snake River to Burley. The land above is flat as far as the eye can see, with this colossal jagged rent in the earth passing right through it. We had a gusty tailwind to speed us across the agricultural land to Burley, and a scavenger hunt competition along the way (a list of 20 objects we had to find). Resulted in a pretty entertaining evening!

Day 11: Mountain Home to Twin Falls, ID

A long, long ride, a couple of miles shy of a century. We left at dawn and crossed vaste mesas, descending into the irrigated valleys below and climbing out again. I rode and chatted with Katie much of the day. The group refer to my bike condescendly as "the Tank", but despite her great weight she gives me a lovely ride. At the entry to Twin Falls the Snake River has carved a huge canyon (famous for Evel Knievel's great flop) hundreds of feet deep which we crossed on a magnificent bridge to the hotel and.....rest for the weary.
