Day #65-New Meadows to Cambridge, ID 47 miles

It says something about the nature of our journey that 47 miles seems almost like an off day.  We had a rainy start but a dry downhill ride to Cambridge along the Little Salmon River and then the Salmon River.  I should mention the little town of Riggins, the so-called rafting capital of Idaho.  We sampled  some good fresh coffee there from Two Rivers Coffee Roasters while Finley tried to sort out his cell phone woes. 

They’re cutting hay in the plains on the way and it reminded me of home.  We’re 15 days from Astoria.  I know I should stay in the moment but I’m drifting off figuring out the details of the last few days.

We’re staying at, Frontier Motel and RV Park, (highly recommended!) along with a couple from England heading east, Jon and Catherine.  It was fun to share stories with them.  Another Brit Steven, also heading east, joined the party later in the day as well.  Incidentally the motel bills itself as "At the Gateway to Hell's Canyon."  A foreshadowing of things to come!

Jon, Catherine and their incredible tandem!
