78 miles into Three Rivers RV Camp, Lowell, Idaho
Now I know why the East-bound riders talk about crossing LoLo Pass. They have an 80 mile climb to get to the top of the pass. Ergo, I had virtually a 78-mile ride downhill today. I didn’t even have to pedal for the first 5 miles. Vincent was too tired to bicycle today which was too bad because the ride was truly beautiful. I biked along the Lochsa (pronounced Lock-saw) river all day. I saw kayakers, rafters, and floaters on the river. Unfortunately, I also saw a partially submerged van in the river. I must say it was a very disturbing site. I had heard at one of my rest stops that there was an accident up ahead that involved a truck and a car. No one seemed to know the details. I am certainly glad I did not bicycle past any earlier. Bob and Vincent met me at 2 of the rest stops since there were no services for 66 miles. It’s always good to see Bob during the ride. Needless to say, I couldn’t have done this without his support. He’s been great throughout.
