The route to Hell’s Kitchen passage Control followed the
Snake river as it wound through the wallowa-whitman
national forest. At Hell’s Canyon overlook passage Control,
fred Gallagher and Sarah ormerod were dispensing cookies
before the crews were given some time to peek down into
the 2,436m abyss - the deepest such chasm in the USA.
Sticking firmly to the higher ground, the road to lunch
followed. After crossing the state line we halted at the
Time Control of the Gateway Store & Café, where the crews
tucked into a hearty meal of pulled pork and a side of some
of Idaho’s famous potatoes.
There were another two regularities in the afternoon,
the Big farms and the Big willow Creek, along a combined
80km of the area’s finest dirt roads. The Boise riverside
Hotel was our evening destination and, as another day’s
rallying drew to a close, the crews also wished a very happy
birthday to Marina Goodwin, a RtG founder and Bentley
copilot extraordinaire.
