Hells Gate and Beyond!

Traveled down to Lewiston, Idaho on Friday night and set up our camper at Hells Gate State Park. The drive down was uneventful except for the crazy drivers in Spokane. We stopped a Quiznos in Lewiston and picked up a couple sandwiches before going to the park and once we got the rig set up we ate our dinner while the sun went down. We then walked the dog and rode our bikes, almost hitting deer and a mole.

Next morning we got up with the sun and Linda competed in the Hells Gate Duathlon. She did real well. Linda's parents drove down and were present to cheer her on.

Some hasher friends were there and Linda started the race with them and ran the first leg along side, Boots.There time was real good and by the end Linda was 14 seconds behind Nuts and quite a bit ahead of Boots.

She came in first in her age group and above the middle of the entire pack of runners. It was good for Linda to have her Mom and Dad there to root her on and running with Boots really pushed her to go faster.

We drove to Linda's parents and set up the camper for the night. We went shopping and for dinner Linda's Dad made some great hamburgers on the BBQ. We slept well got up and then drove home, ending another Canyonwren adventure.
