6/15 Idaho

Idaho! It's a State.  We woke up and headed down to the local food co-op which was absolutely heavenly.  We fed pretty hard there and stocked up on harder to find luxuries such as curry powder and hemp seeds and sampled some of the best cinnamon rolls of the trip.  Goody and I found a music store where we decided to each by a ukulele.  We rode north most of the day on US 95 which was a bit busy north of Moscow but chilled out considerably during the day and featured some nice rolling hills and scenery through the Saint Joe National Forest.  We stopped somewhere along the way for a drink and got what I think was the only bad eye of the trip from some convenience store clerk.  Whatever.  We consumed our frozen sugar and caffeine concoctions and kept riding to Plummer, where we stocked up on food at the local grocery.  In the parking lot of the grocery store we met a member of the Couer D'Alene tribe.  We talked about our journey and he gave us his some braided sweet grass to burn for good luck on our ride.  We thanked him for the gift and found our way to the Trail de Couer D'Alene rail to trail path.  We were overjoyed on the freshly paved path that wound through the forest.  As it got dark we found our camping spot at Heyburn State Park, made a fire and cooked some food and passed out.

Idaho.  It's a State!

The food co-op in Moscow

Pete rides safely on the shoulder and spots a large farm vehicle(combine?)  We had heard tale that it was possible to draft off these vehicles but the opportunity never arose. 

In Plummer we stocked up on food at the grocery and met a Couer D'Alene Tribesman who gave us braided sweet grass to burn for good luck

The Trail de Couer D'Alenes is amazing
