Before I leave the USA or it destroys itself, I’d like to visit Rockies and as many places as possible.
Day 1
heading towards Mt. Hood
Dinner at the camp
Drive for the Day
Day 2
A bit of a hike before heading towards Utah
Not the proper Mt. Hood
Decided to stay in Mitchell
Oregon 97750
Day 3
Started early to see John Day Fossil Beds National Monument Oregon
The most interesting part of the day perhaps was to visit the Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site – The Chinese before me who came to the USA and left a legacy
Decided to stay in Boise for the day
Day 4
Driving into Idaho. It’s a Sunday, so I took it easy
I learned a new word called Aquifer
Essentially that’s where water in Idaho is from
Later, I did a little cycling tour around Twin Falls
My bicycle
Day 5
On my way! to Utah it’s also the day a deer hit me
It’s unfortunate I didn’t get a clear mind to appreciate Golden Spike National Monument and I had to skip the Bird Refugee next to it to get my car squared away
Decided to head to Logan, UT to get a rental and leave my car there
still managed a bike ride
Day 6
Continued with my rental
Decided to camp early
Day 7
Bear Lake
Flaming Gorge
Decided to Stay at Vernal, UT for the night. Cute small town with good beers and food

What a fun read. You’ve got the right idea to visit places before the USA destroys itself. That is incredible you visited so many peaceful and beautiful places in Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. And, even had such well-planned bicycle trips even after Deer Day. I hope your car is in a better state now. And, thank goodness it didn’t seem to get hit in the front of the car and total it. Thanks for sharing the adventures.
