Clarkston and rest day

Something appears to be weird with the blogger site we are using. First it went down all last night and now our posts from the day before (the gorilla day) are absent from the site. We are going to wait and see if they reappear and if they don't we will repose those entries.

Yesterday we made it the 77 miles into Clarkston. It was our hilliest day so far and we made it to our first summit of the trip (with many more to come). Both my mom and I want to give a huge thank you to Syd and her mom for letting us stay at their amazing house. The first picture is of my mom taking one last look at the house.

We finished our first map and have now entered Idaho. Today is a rest day and we are camping at Hells Gate State Park. We figured that was an appropriate name seeing as we are about to begin the Rockies tomorrow. It looks like we have some hard low milage days ahead of us. We will try to update the blog but are unsure what kind of reception we will get (or blogger might fail again too). Wish us luck!
