Wild Turkey's

August 17th - Clark Forks, Idaho
Mileage: 101 km
Total mileage: 307 km
Ride time: 4:42

Brisk wake up this morning. Newport was cool and fogged in. The temperature warmed quickly though. Daytime high was 76 degrees.

The ride today was very pleasant. Slight grades with flat stretches. Deby and I have developed a good working strategy. I ride for 10 km and then wait for 3-5 minutes for her to show up. It helps us both ride comfortably.

Replaced Deby's gashed tire in Sandpoint, Idaho with a Specialized Armadillo, Kevlar lined. We'll beat those beer bottle smashers yet.

Oh ya, wild turkeys at the campground this morning and more of them along the ride. They seem very people friendly until you get a camera out....then they run like hell.

Hwy 200 is a beautiful ride. A mountainous valley following large lakes all the while.

Camped at a beautiful campground called Johnson Creek tonight. State maintained and tucked away and little known. We learned of it from one of the locals. The local was a firefighter who later came by to make sure that we had found the place.
