Day 9 - Goldendale Wa to Orofino Idaho. A snake, a birthday and a farewell

A most fabulous day.  Sun and clouds made it excellent riding weather.  And we were able to do the famous Rattlesnake Canyon run.  A twisty labyrinthine affair that had me giggling like a school girl.  Fun.  Awaiting us in Orofino was a great hotel right on the Clearwater River.  A real treat.  Celebrating Nancy's birthday that night was good for us as we had been practicing our Happy Birthday rendition for several nights, however it was the Macallans that Wilf brought out in celebrating the 60th that had us on our best - hope that Nancy enjoyed it too.  Marty leaves us tonight as he has an appointment in Calgary, so we shall be only 4 tomorrow.


650 km today of really great roads
