Day 6 – Wednesday, May 12

99.6 miles, 13.6 mph, Odometer: 424

KEVIN & RILEY – Today was a day of rude surprises. Last night, Google Maps said 78 miles. This morning we discovered that Google used Hwy 395 but we were actually riding Hwy 20 headed east; 99 miles. We knew there was a climb at the beginning. We did not know it was a 2000 foot climb that lasted 30 miles. Tonight we will look closer at the maps! It was a beautiful ride along the Pend Oreille River and a great lunch at the Texaco Cafe. Suzi rode the last 16 miles with me. Just as we approached Riley Creek Campground near Laclede, Idaho, our friends Tom and Judy Graham passed us on the road with their truck/trailer. Their turn in to the campground showed us exactly where we were headed. It is always delightful to spend time with Tom and Judy, lots of laughter around the campfire!

SUZI, LAUREN & PEACH –
