Day 54 22/08/09 Lewiston > Starbuck

Thankfully the day started a bit later than planned! Had a fantastic day being taken around by andy. Took me out for breaky before going for a ride up river on his jet boat! Incredible scenery & wildlife up the Snake River and through Hells Canyon! Saw osprey, heron looking things, wild deer, wild turkeys amongst other things! The funny looking drawings ingraved in the rock are infact over 3000 years old and have been dated pre american indian! Had a few beerskies on the boat before heading back to get ready for the cycle! This had all taken alot longer than planned (definately worth it!) so Andy gave me a lift 20miles out of town so i could catch up with my mile count! Very desolate cycling rolling hills through prarie lands. Arrived at Starbuck where i had been told there was a motel.. there wasn't! There was however a booked up B&B, thankfully the owners Floyd & Carol were wonderful and let me pitch my tent up in their garden for free and use their showers!
