A long day is ahead with 69 miles and three passes to get over. Dixie Pass will be the end of today’s climbing.
Prairie City will be at the end of the long drop off the mountain.
After Prairie City is John Day, an old prospecting town. I stop for a cold Dr. Pepper to help finish the last 8 mile to Clyde Holliday State Park. Nancy has set up camp here for a few days.
