Thursday, July 15, Day 70
Council, Idaho to Oxbow, Oregon (63 miles)


We did it. We have reached our last state, Oregon. We left Council and had a few short climbs on Route 95. Twenty-two miles later we were in Cambridge, Idaho for a second breakfast. We then moved off Route 95 and began a new trip on SR71. Another climb, this time 18 miles to the summit.at 4,131 feet. The pay back for that was a 7 mile downhill almost to the Snake River that is on the Oregon border.
A bonus tonight is we switch to Pacific time. That means, too, that we have about 400 miles left to finish our journey.
p.s. the Snake River and the Brownlee Reservoir that was created by the Brownlee dam is a sight to behold.
