Day 7 Lewiston to Winchester all up hill. Left bright and early as the weather was good and we knew there was elevation to gain. No pain no gain.
We were cruising along when about 3 miles in we encountered DOG. DOG was cute and friendly, no blue collar. Anyway DOG and us became BFFs, well at least for the next 14 miles. Stopped and told him to "go home" many times, but no follow us he did. We stopped and talked to an old farmer who said he was probably a stray. Anyway I think that's what he said. Couldn't really tell as his dentures were flopping all over his mouth. Picture that. We eventually lost dog on a long decline and we hope he finds a home cuz he was really cute.
Then the real climb began. 8 miles 2500+ feet, big head and cross winds.
Epic but amazingly beautiful. Everytime we turned to look back we could see the road snaking back behind us far in the distance. And the great thing was there was no traffic, we saw 4 cars in 2 hours. Fabulous!!!! Our critter sightings for the day, DOG, deer, bunny, quail?????, snake(yikes) ankle biters, coyote. Very cool. Got to the campground, set up camp. Walked to town and finally found ice cream. Yummy. Big storm was brewing but it blew through with little rain. But got cool. Thought we were going to go showerless but found this awesome shower house and bathroom tucked away. I don't think people knew it was there. Happy happy. Dinner cards sleeping.
