A very long 7 miles

We are now in Idaho! It's such a beautiful state. Especially where we are for the next two nights (yes - one more day off before saying goodbye to Steve's cousin Dave). Dave road his bike with us to his camp on Lake Pend Oreille. It's an amazing lake that we are really looking forward to checking out tomorrow. It was a great day with cooler temps, clear skies, and gently rolling hills.

The toughest part of the day was the final 12 miles which we originally thought was 7 miles. That was a very long "7" miles of winding back roads along the shore of Lake Pend Orieille. We were just not mentally ready for the extra miles at the end of the day.

Miles today = 92

Total miles = 716
