Day 108 - Twin Falls, ID - 6689 Miles

On our way home. We spent last night in Pendleton, OR. Our timing was almost disastrous. Today is the first day of Roundup in Pendleton. This is sort of a cowboy Super Bowl and prices change accordingly. Our hotel said had we stayed one night later, our cost would have been at least $100 higher. Restaurants throughout downtown were putting out their "Roundup Menus". They say, quite unashamedly, they are the same as the regular menus but the prices are about 20% higher. I'm guessing the locals don't do a lot of dining out during Roundup. The main street had been blocked off and was being filled with food trailers and vendors with all sorts of cowboy paraphernalia.
Main St., Pendleton, OR
Tonight is Twin Falls, ID. Made a quick stop to look at the Snake River Canyon.  If you look real close at the most distant part of the canyon edge, you can see Evel Knievel's jump ramp.

We are one time zone closer to home. Tomorrow is Moab, UT. This will be the first stop on our return trip to a place we haven't visited before.
