It started raining early so we decided on a rest day. The proprietor at the Three Rivers lodge gave us the keys to her van so we could drive across the bridge, in the rain to a restaurant for breakfast. We counted this as another random act of human kindness.
The skies cleared during breakfast, so we headed east on our bikes up a slight grade. Paul’s legs were crying out for a rest, but Tom’s were feeling stronger. As we headed for Powell, we passed a couple of trails leading to hot springs, but light rain showers and the need to reach Powell prevented us from stopping. We overnighted at Lochsa Lodge in a small cabin with two beds, but no plumbing. But the price was right!
Total mileage today for Paul 68, total miles 577.37. Tom continued biking about 10 miles back to bask in one of the hot springs we had previously passed. I had no energy for even 10 more feet of additional biking!
