We got up at 5:15 am, packed up camp, and began biking at 7 am. We rode along the Lochsa River, with a slight grade going up. There were no services along this road until we got to Powell. The weather was cooler today, and there were more trees to shade us from the sun. Lorraine had pain in her right knee, so Lenny massaged it, had her stretch, and showed her how to pedal differently to avoid stressing the muscle.
We sang old sit-com jingles to pass the time while riding - our favorite is “Gilligan’s Island”! We arrived in Powell at 3:15 pm. There are no showers at the USFS campground, so we paid the camp store owner $6 to let us camp on the lawn and use the showers! Lorraine made pasta and sauce for dinner.
