We reconsidered our plan to take the day off based upon the weather forecast and decided to get over Lolo Pass (5233’) today before the wet weekend. The pass is a fairly gradual climb over 30 miles and then 5 miles of steep climbing to the summit. We had a slight tailwind the entire way.
Steve encountered the last two cyclists entered in the TransAm race today. We’d been seeing competitors trickle by since we entered Yellowstone. Competitors are stretched from Kentucky to Montana!
Finley thought I made reservations at Lochsa Lodge in Powell and had a cabin staked out when Steve and I arrived. Although I’d never made the reservation because we couldn’t stay a second night and wait out the rain, we were grateful for indoor accommodations tonight. Tomorrow promises to be wet but we won’t have to pack up in the rain.
