Woke up dry and snuggly at hotel. The mom was raring to go and wanted to leave at 5:30.... I rolled over and went back to sleep. So did she. A little anxious about the pass, the road, the weather??? I think maybe. Our ride today turned out to be lovely. Cloudy and cool with a little drizzle. No beating hailstorm. There was nearly no traffic on the road and the Clearwater River was amazingly flooded. Blue nitrile gloves kept our hands warm and dry (thanks!). I had to take the picture of the gloves with my nose because I didn't want to take my own gloves off and the iPhone touchscreen doesn't work if you are wearing gloves. It was awkward and funny. Notice the snow in the first picture. It is sure to get a lot closer in the next two days. Yikes! We arrived at our campsite after 55 miles of great riding. Took a nap, went for a walk, and started a fire with really wet wood. We finally got it going but it started getting even colder outside so we have retired to our sleeping satchels. Tomorrow we hope to make it to Powell, 36 miles away.
