Slice of Heaven

Sandpoint ID to east of Montana State Line June 29, 2009 - Left Sandpoint from campground around 8:30. We will pick up a new rider today, Jim from Detroit. Jim has ridden with Braden and others before and is a day or so behind us for this ride. Jim has called Lynda and said he had success with putting a sign on his bike saying "need ride to Sandpoint". In addition Art and Jon from Maine have been camping and riding with us. The road out of Sandpoint is nice and we have favorable winds carrying us to Montana. We had a great lunch in Hope, ID and absolutely beautiful scenery and ride along the Pend Oreille River. We crossed the Idaho/Montana Border at 3 pm and went into Mountain time after stopping at Kootinai Falls. The weather is warmer today but the mornings have still be cool in 40's. I believe it was 93 today our warmest day yet. We found a camp spot called "propane available" actually it is Cabinet Gorge RV park. Had a great blueberry turnover with ice cream and whipped cream at the Big Sky Pantry that was awesome. Will we have start another state and Montana will take us awhile to cross, only in Idaho for 1 1/2 days. All is well.
