Ione, WA

We got a relatively early start and hammered towards Ione, WA to keep trying to beat the heat.  We rode along the Pend Oreille River all morning...
And peddled through the Kalispel Nation...
Where there was a massive Pow Wow facility...
While we were riding, Bonnie went for a run along Bear Lake...
Towards the end of the ride the heat caught us...

In dry eastern Washington...
We arrived a little early in Ione and we were treated with snowmobiles racing across the lake....the ones making a wake in the midde are snowmobiles!!!
The end of our adventure is fast approaching but maybe not fast enough for some of us...

    OMG snowmobiles, I guess you have to give credit for resourcefulness. You two look wonderful.

Libby, MT

A little heat wave is hitting the Northwest and we certainly felt it on the ride into Libby, MT... We road the rest of the length of Lake Koocanusa... All the way to the Libby dam that created the lake... Where we met up with Bonnie and got some cold drinks before making our way to Libby... Here, Henry is letting me know what the best Gatorade flavor is and why and I think I finally get it... After the Libby Dam, we road along the Kootenai River... We were hot and exposed before getting to the City of Eagles, Libby, MT... And hiked out to these falls on the west side of town this am... Planning to hide from the heat and take a few rest days until it hopefully breaks on Monday...

Fergus Falls, MN

The pictures from today are beautiful but this was probably the hardest ride we have had the entire adventure.  We pulled out of Alexandria.... Got back on the trail and headed northwest to Fergus Falls... It was great when we had the green tunnel but those stretches of trail were few and far between (we already miss the deciduous forest!)... And when we were not in the green tunnel we were totally exposed... We took a break in Dalton (the little blue dot above is us)...where the strapped down trash can was even blown over! And then headed back into the wall of wind... We did not even have to use our brakes to stop! We arrived in Fergus Falls totally spent... Having earned every foot of these 51.2 miles...
