NO rain!!!! Yes, yes, yes! Started out with a nice quiet morning and talk with my brother, was hard saying goodbye to them. Was a perfect brisk morning with a lot of clouds but no rain. I followed the Clearwater River down and then started a very steep uphill section. I purposely did a shorter mileage day due to this countinus climb, it was steep for sure. But after the tough climb came a rewarding road in great condition that split beautiful wheat fields. I ran into cyclest going the other way and one if the guides from the tour that gave me a tip on a good campground. As I came into town/camp the guide Mark the guide said that they had to pay to 15 sites and some of their group went home early so he hooked me up so I wouldn't have to pay. Was a good day, so glad that storm has past!
