130 mi two bikes
We stopped in Lolo, Mt and had breakfast and got some hero sandwich to go for lunch. We decided to do a picnic. We stopped for a picnic lunch at wilderness gate way campground and picnic area we were in need of a break we stopped at Lolo pass and got some more pictures
We saw two bear on the way one black and one brown. The black bear was along the road, the brown bear was at the rest area in the garbage the dry conditions have made for slim foraging for bears. That and the fires have caused them to come out of the mountains where people are to see if they can get food. We took a nature hike there first and dh was able to get some pictures of it.
We arrived here at two o’clock lots of bikes were on the road today, group after group, it seemed every mile or two. We went for a nice ride two up on my bike dh drove one way and I drove the other. We drove up the Selway, River for a short ways to see how the berries were. There are better here. It was cool and nice. I saw a deer in the trees lying down.
We took a dip in the river, dh said there was a trail, what he didn’t say it was almost straight up and down and you had to be a mountain goat to use it! Any way we had a great swim very refreshing and an adventure getting back up the bank! I fell in and broke a blood vessel in by foot, the heel is all blue, doesn’t hurt but sure started me when I noticed it after my shower.
It’s nice to have a room with sheets tonight, and I don’t have to hike to the rest rooms in the middle of the night, or to the showers.
Today was hot traveling but there was rain forecast so we are thankful for the great weather. I found a rock about the size on an individual pizza a ½” thick or so, to take home for my garden in the river we had to toss it up the bank ahead of us. I love the trees and sound of the of water running over the rocks is great we are next to the (Clearwater) river here on highway 12.
They were out of our favorite beverage so we had to settle for some water. Then we washed the wind shields off our bikes and covered them after putting the on center stands. I hung my swimming suit on my motor cycle mirror to dry. I saw a garter snake on our nature walk today. I’m just glad it was not a rattle snake!
We had a good dinner, resting and relaxing enjoying an air conditioned room for the first time in a week. There are fires here too but less smoke than we had had for the last five nights.
