DAY 12

Left Pocotello this morning under threatening skies and temps hovering at 40. Headed down I-25 for a few miles then off onto the old two lane following the Oregon Trail across southern Idaho. The road started to climb towards Bear Lake turning into a twisty mountain road, I don't envy the early settlers trying to cross in wagons. As we headed up it began to snow lightly then it stopped as we entered the clouds themselves. Bear Lake is a beautiful lake surrounded by snow covered hills this time of the year.

As we continued up into the clouds towards Logans Pass the air turned extremely cold maybe mid to low 30's. Over high pass and down into Logan in a light rain, doesn't sound like fun but it was a day to be remembered. Incredible vistas combined with incredible riding conditions make for good conversations and remembered experiences.

South by Great Salt Lake then onto more two lane, state route 6, following the railroad turn for turn over more (lower) mountains to our stop for the night in Price UT. The railroad here was built to haul coal from Grand Junction to Salt Lake City and there is a railroad town called Helper where the trains stop to get a pusher engine over the grade, saw one today with his "helper"

Good day, scenic roads, challenging conditions, finally warming up.
