We started the day with pastry and good coffee at the espresso shop attached to the hotel. We also got a 12 inch subway sandwich to go. A biker should never risk running out of food. The route was one of the most beautiful so far. We were along the Little Salmon River most of the time. It was forest at first (very similar to OR Wallowa). By the middle to end of the day we were Hells Canyon again. We had our second breakfast in Riggins, Idahos white water capital. We did not sample that adventure this time.
It was fun seeing evidence of the mining still going on in this area. We saw one sign "for sale or lease mining rights". They must have already made their $$$$.
We stayed at the White Fish hotel in town. It was more appealing than camping in the city park and using the restrooms in the Silver Dollar Bar. The hotel was old but clean. The room had enough beds to sleep 8 people. Because it was a holiday, the market and cafe were both closed. The bar had plenty of adult beverages but no food. The woman at the hotel offered to drive to get us some food (over 1mile back up hill). So we did not have to do without dinner.
Sadly there was no internet or phone coverage so this is being poster 5/29/12.

Love the down grade sign! LOL Your log of sites including road kill is a real memory now you are adding people to that journal. The man at the camp who said you weren't spring chickens and now the hospitality of a stranger to save your butt...in more ways than one! LOL
Thanks for your faithful reading and commenting. We look forward to hearing from you. Ron & Sharon
