Thursday. Syringe, id to white bird, id. 60 miles. The ride started with a quick down hill 16 miler to kooskia and second breakfast. At that point we turned south away from the river we’d been following and started up the Clearwater river valley. We climbed about 2000 feet over about 25 miles through completely different terrain than we’ve had since entering Idaho. Softly textured hills with few trees. We reached a large plateau cover by farmland. Wheat as far as the eye could see. I had cell service part of the day so some pictures will get posted, but some will have to wait until tomorrow. From the plateau around Grangeville another minor climb that offered spectacular view, then a screaming down hill into white bird where we’re camped next to the salmon river. Before the ride I spent about one hour in Idaho looking for potatoes. Now after a few days in Idaho it seems that every road is built along a beautiful river. Today’s temperature reached 98, but now at 7:45pm it’s down to around 75 with a low expected in the sixties. We’ll do some climbing tomorrow and should have cooler temps at the higher elevation.
