Day 14: Tuesday, April 18

We definitely made the right decision to stay in Prairie City last night. When I woke up this morning, it was about 20 degrees, however, the rest of the day was sunny and warm. There was a huge caravan monument on the climb up the first pass that we stopped to check out.








We took our time, but we made it over all three passes today: Dixie (5,277 feet), Tipton (5,124 feet), and Sumpter (5,082 feet.)








Tonight we are at a campground in Baker City after riding over 70 miles today. This marks the completion of the second section of maps! We plan on waking up early tomorrow and we should be able to make it into Idaho. If not tomorrow, then definitely by Thursday.
