On the way there, we saw wildlife in the form of
\ncattle. Cattle in the middle of the road. Gotta love open range

Evolutionary note:
\nyellow jackets at the Hell’s Canyon overlook swarm around incoming
\nvehicles that park there to check for squashed bugs they can eat.<\/p>\n

We’ll have our picnic for dinner instead.<\/p>\n
