Lochsa to Missoula 105km. 710m ascent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately the views were nothing to write about as everything was covered by clouds. It was cold but at least dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a warmup and some coffee it was downhill for the rest of the day \ud83e\udd29. Plus we crossed into Montana and lost an hour with changing to Mountain Time <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again we met up with John and Lisa Manotti with whom we had spent a pleasant evening and supper at the Lochsa Lodge. I hope our paths will cross again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening with the Kenyons was super. They fed us more home cooking than we could eat and we enjoyed discussing all sorts of topics. A great place to stay, get washed and cleaned up and ready to go again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
