Although we still had sunshine for a while, the clouds ahead promised snow, and eventually it began to fall.  About the time the snow began, we reached road conditions with more snow as the sun wasn’t melting it.  Just after the snow began falling, we reached the summit of the Blue Mountains at 4,193 feet.  The temperature had fallen to 18°.

Is this our exit?

By the time we returned to the lower elevations near the town of LaGrande, snow was not in evidence on the ground and was not falling.  The temperature rose quickly.   Our goal today was to log miles, no sights to see, just moving back east.

Losing an hour when we returned to the Mountain time zone, we checked into a hotel in Twin Falls, Idaho in the early evening.  After dinner in the room, we fell into bed pretty tired after a 662-mile day.
