Using Crowdsourcing to Discover my Next Endeavor
There are natural hot springs all over the place in Idaho. We have found that it is an amazing way to finish each day – soak in the hot water, then jump into the frigid river to ice the legs, and back into the hot springs.
Trout were swimming by, occasional visitors would drop in and swap stories of their travels, and life moved very slowly. Last night, we lost track of time and spent almost two hours here.
Tough way to finish a day. But this was definitely earned!!!
We are typically biking 30+ miles before finding any signs of human activity, and when we do happen upon one, its like a time warp back 150 years into the Wild West. This was our lodging on night 2, and it also serves as an RV park, a general store, the gas station, a post office, a restaurant, camp grounds, and community center. For us, it was truly an oasis, as we barely made it before they closed up for the night.
The cabins were actually quite homey and they fed us well that night and gave us a great breakfast to start off Day 3, which started with a 20 mile, 2900 vertical foot climb.
Onward and upward
End of 2 epic days of riding. Very sporadic cell service means we are a bit behind on the updates, and will do that tonight.
quick tally: 2 days of riding, 135 miles, ~10,000 vertical feet of climbing. At least as many stories.
Apparently, there was a misunderstanding at the bike store when we said we wanted to ride for 4 days.
