Day 13 & 14 – Cusick, WA to Sandpoint, ID

 Miles 59

Total Miles 646

 

It was a nice ride today.  We didn’t have too many hills and the wind seemed to be in our favor.  We did end up riding most of the day on pretty busy roads that had a nice shoulder most of the time.  I got a little tired of the noise that accompanies those busy roads. This particular road was traveled by us 9 years ago as well.  We rode the Selkirk Loop back then and followed these roads nearly exactly. 


 

We were able to stop by a McDonald’s in Newport, WA, which was nice to have just a plain Big Mac and fries.  On that same Selkirk trip 9 years ago, Kaitlin received her mission call there as we were passing through.  We called Carey, my wife, on FaceTime and she showed the pages without reading them.  That was a fun memory.

 



We are camped at the fair grounds in Sandpoint.  These are the nicest fair grounds camping we have had so far.  They are having a Simmental beef cow show here this weekend. We are planning on watching a little of that in the morning.





Saturday. Listened to trains roll through last night.  Seems like these camping places are many times by the train tracks.  It’s soothing but annoying. 😊 We did go watch those kids show their cattle.  That was fun.  They had some beautiful animals. I spent the day catching up on some work for the office, did laundry, oiled the chain on the bike, ate at some good places and just took it easy.  Not too much to report.

 

We did make some changes to the route today.  We have another stretch in the future that we both have already ridden, which is along a pretty busy road, so we are thinking we may skip it and make up a day.  Not for sure if we will do!but may, just to get back a little bit quicker.

 

Planning on going to the movies tonight. Did go to Cruella tonight. Great movie. 

 

Hoping all is well with you all!




Hopefully I saved this little bugger from the road.
