June 14- Pomeroy to Clarkston WA

We started the day with a gadual climb from 1800 to 2800' over 10 miles before descending to the Snake River and into Clarkston. The terrain is desert, high rocky hills. The ride was only 30 miles, so it was effectively a half day off. We had planned on a day off once a week, but don't feel the need so far.

Clarkston WA and Lewiston ID are two gritty large towns flanking the Snake River at the limit of ship navigation from the Pacific.

As it was Flag Day and also our anniversary, we treated ourselves to a nice motel, complete with hot tub, and an excellentlygbhcbvbfb dinner a

bdt what several people rddo is the only good restaurant in town. When you here for only one meal, you only need one.

At one point in mid ride, we passed a historical marker pointing out an ancient Indian trail which Lewis and Clark followed on their way east, taking an overland shortcut from the Columbia to the Snake River, saving several miles. The trail is said to have been used for abts, and    stillvddd. v. v    ddndcdbcccbcbd. vvnc dcc v cv still be tc n on the hillside. Can you see it?
