(^44) Boise – Glenn's Ferry - 125 km
In the morning, I thanked Rachel and Patrick, and intended to turn
off at Mountain Home onto Route 20. But, the wind picked up, and I
soon found myself grinding into a headwind. There and then, I made
a U-turn and continued along Route 84.
The area was highly desolate and had very little of interest. However,
a strong tailwind blew me into Glenn's Ferry early. At the Three
Islands SP, the camping fee was astronomical (as Patrick warned) and
it was best to look elsewhere.
Glenn's Ferry turned out a fascinating place. Back in the day, the area
was one of the most famous and treacherous river crossings on the
Oregon Trail. Not only was Glenn’s Ferry steeped in history, but it
turned out to be the home of Equine Dentistry. You learn something
new every day!
