Priest River, ID

We took a field trip to the Ross Creek Cedars that are over 1,000 years old!  It was actually a pretty magical place with a cool understory and massive trees that have stood for over a millennium...

Even with significant woodpecker foraging...
We stayed in Priest River...
Where is was friggin' HOT....


We snuck an early evening ride in and the heat did not get us so whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

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...

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...

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...
