Day 11, Thursday July 10th –Baker City to Huntington – 74km

Okay so, here’s the story. My dearest mother whom I love with all my heart – hates snakes, like fears them terribly – to panic. Now myself being her daughter I feel as if those have received some of that fear. We biked through the desert – barren land – again. Well lotsa snake road kill, which made me sad. Then Kaitlyn who was biking behind me said there was a snake the slithered across the road behind us, ewww kreepljes up and down my spine. THEN there was a snake rolled up in the middle of the road that I literally had to dodge. Well, I tell ya I put my bike in its hardest gear and have never biked faster 66km/hr – I don’t like snakes.
Huntington was an interesting place, population possible able to count on your fingers and toes. Just kidding, not that small but it was quite small. However, just outside of Huntington we hung out in a irrigation ditch, it felt SO GOOD!!! Wow, who knew that an irrigation would be a blessing after a long day, well the day was actually pretty much 74km of down hill….. saweet! In the words of Hans Doef “you know it’s a good day when you can coast at 40km/hr no problem.”

PS – that thing I’m sitting on is a bike rack – its in the shape of Oregon. Itsa a kinda cool huh?
