We started yesterday from Lima, and headed east on a steady climb along Lima Dam Rd up to Lma Reservoir, and spotted a flock of Trumpeter Swans which were pretty cool. After stopping for lunch, a wicked little rainstorm moved in. Rien and I rode through it, which might or might not have been the smart thing to do. We were trying to ride the roads before they turned into muck but we had to really ride through some crap weather.
We finally hit Red Rock Lake Wildlife Refuge, home to a whole ton of birds. We saw some of them. Then another wicked climb into over the Divide (5th time) into Idaho!
This is a strange State - but they love bikes! They even use them to get into their homes.
Some of the Euros got to try Smores for the first time... I think the face says it all...

And there was an awesome lake behind the campground...
There was a wicked windstorm during the night... had to sleep on the side of my tent to hold it down and make sure that I didn't end up in Kansas.
The next day (today) was a relatively easy day, with the second half along an old railroad track. It started a little rough with a lot of sand, but crossed some cool rivers on an the old railroad bridges. Oh, and there was a tunnel that was pretty cool as well...
But the highlight of the day was Vinnie polishing off an 8 scoop ice cream sundae at the little soda shop in Ashton ID at the end of the day. Wow. Just wow. And don't worry mom, he still ate all his dinner.
OK. Off to check out Friday nightlife here in BF Idaho.
