Tuesday. We rode out of Missoula in very heavy morning traffic. It was a bit frustrating as we back tracked 13 miles to lolo. It turns out that Missoula is a spur and not really on the route. The map took us there because it’s adventure cycling headquarters and I have to admit it was a nice place for a rest day. From lolo we gradually climbed from 3100 hundred feet to 5200 feet over 30 miles. At the top of lolo pass we entered Idaho. I will post picture from today and tomorrow as soon as I have cell service again and can get all the pictures from my phone to the laptop. It was then a fast down hill to our camp ground right next to the lochsa river. This was a very rustic camp site, but probably the most beautiful setting that we’ve spent a night. In the woods next o the river. It was dark, quiet, and cool. Perfect sleeping weather. The only problem was waking up very early. We’re now on pacific time and our bodies were left back in the mountain time zone so most of us were up before 5:00am. Total miles 58.
