Sunny warm day no clouds and only light breeze. It’s 4:00 we are at a large rest stop on I-84 just east of Mountain Home. Came 399 miles and ahead of schedule, started the morning 3 hours farther north then usual.
Will rest here a while before moving on. Get gas in Boise and spend the night at a rest stop just inside Oregon, that rest stop does not have internet coverage. Be home tomorrow : 🙂 & 😦
Update
7:00 pacific stopped for the night, 534 miles today and 532 from here home.

Our campsite for the week.
View of the west rim valley about half way up to the rim.
This is the sign at Half Camp which is 1/4 mile before the Old Mine road reaches the new(er) road into Crystal Mountain. This is 3.5 miles from the Silver Springs campground.
This is looking up the valley where the old road reaches the new road.
This is looking down the valley from the same place. This would be coming into the valley.
Hank is in the lower right hand corner, just a shot of the old road.
View a little farther down the road.
It’s a great trail but not much of a road. Jeep or small pick-up would do just fine, larger vehicle would get the paint scratched pretty good. It’s still in good condition and 2-wheel drive is all you’d really need to get up this road.
Here is the ever willing to go for a hike Hank.
This is a happy hiking dog (Hank).
The white line going from the middle towards the bottom of the picture follows this week’s hike. The line going towards the top of the picture is the first part of last week’s hike.
Ranger Creek and the sign.
Ranger Creek sign.
Noble Knob trail fork.
The bridge just before the trial heads up hill towards Noble Knob. It’s at Deep Creek
This is the trail head on the first turn of the Coral Pass Road.
Right above Ranger Creek air strip / Buck Creek.
Here’s our camp site for most of August. Hank & I went up the hillside towards Noble Knob, 2000 feet & 7 miles round trip.
