Ah hung muh butt o'er the Kleinschmidt Grade


The dropoffs are sharp enough to make it do-able (doo-doo, that is). 
And unfortunately, the cat-hole suggestion as per the Nat'l For Svc, is out of the question; hits jus' too dang steep. 

Photos can't capture the distances. And although I gave it a shot with my MP3 recorder, the calling of the chukars (partridges) was too faint. 



On the Snake River just below Oxbow Dam

Downriver



Were I of philosophical bent...

View from Camp -- It's Payette National Forest.


It was too beautiful to just drive by. But the only place to camp is in the road. And that's what we did (above photo).




That's the river in the center.


The temperature rises quickly, but the silence maintains. And no whispering pines, neither.
