The picture doesn’t do it justice. Maybe you can zoom in and see the crickets covering the road. They got much thicker a little ways up the road. They were everywhere.Finally! Out of Oregon and into Idaho! The Brownlee climb was just behind this sign and it was steep right out of the gate. No mercy. Thanks Idaho.Our setup for the night in the Gazebo in Council, OR back of the American Legion.Trying not to be checkmated by the Brownlee climb. Every bit of shade, which is sparse, is a precious rest stop.The Brownlee Reservoir. What a gorgeous sight.The Brownlee DamA mormon cricket. These guys covered the road by the thousands. Like Pam said, it was the stuff nightmares are made of. Creepy…Took this picture going up the Brownlee climb. I loved the rock formations.Nothing like a summit picture! That was a hard climb. Praise God we made it.The Brownlee Dam and Idaho State Line are in the background. We’d just traveled the 10 miles from Oxbow Dam where we stayed the night. We’re taking a short rest preparing ourselves for the climb up to Brownlee summit.This is the Oxbow Reservoir. I was stunned by the near perfect reflection cast on the still water. I took this one for my mother, who loves reflections. Love ya mama!
